This symposium focuses on measuring rigorously the impact of entrepreneurial education in ways that we have rarely seen in single papers, let alone bringing together some of the best programs in the world. These speakers are all from deeply experiential programs and almost all from programs whose experiential activities center intensively around technology commercialization. If scholars and educators want to know how to “move the needle" in turning ideas into reality, this panel will show both a set of programs doing enviable work and some fascinating, robust tools for measuring the impact of experiential entrepreneurship education. Creating viable new businesses AND creating deep entrepreneurial thinkers? These panelists will show you the state of the art of what we know about doing that and the immense potential for future research on how do we grow the expert entrepreneurial mindset and measure that growth.
