Student Organizations
Graduate Entrepreneurs Association
The mission of the Graduate Entrepreneurs Association (GEA) is to enhance the MBA experience by providing unique opportunities that prepare, inform, and excite Leeds MBA students who have an interest in entrepreneurial endeavors. The GEA is a community where students share ideas, interact closely with successful entrepreneurs, and gain exposure to a stimulating environment that encourages innovative thinking and ambitious efforts.
Our overall objectives include:
- Serving as a vehicle for students to achieve a high level of ownership and involvement in the Leeds/Boulder entrepreneurial ecosystem throughout their MBA experience and beyond.
- Providing opportunities for students to connect with one another and build upon each other’s enthusiasm and desire to do something great.
- Energizing students and faculty, and thus facilitating the growth of entrepreneurial ventures from the academic foundation provided at the Leeds School of Business.
- Creating awareness about entrepreneurial practices and the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship among the entire MBA student body.
