Diversity & Inclusion in Entrepreneurship

The Herb Kelleher Entrepreneurship Center believes entrepreneurship should be accessible to all Longhorns. We recognize that there are many groups underrepresented in entrepreneurship that may find it difficult to connect with, and navigate, the entrepreneurial ecosystem on campus. Through the Diversity and Inclusion in Entrepreneurship Summit, the center provides role models from diverse backgrounds and experiences that can serve as positive influences on the ways in which an entrepreneurial education can increase professional opportunities.

Recent summit speakers include Blanca Lesmes, Co-founder and CEO of BB Imaging & Consulting, Aisha Lewis, Director of Strategic Programs at Notley, Brooke Turner, Executive Program Director for DivInc, and Sharon Miller, Head of Small Business at Bank of America.
