Student Organizations
Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization
The Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (CEO), sponsored by the Deming Center, is a student run group open to all undergraduate students enrolled full-time at CU-Boulder.
CEO's focus is to provide an environment in which students with an entrepreneurial spirit can meet to share ideas, forge new friendships, and develop business skills. CEO informs, supports, and inspires its members to be entrepreneurial and seek opportunity through enterprise creation. CEO members learn skills necessary to intelligently develop their own business. Through a series of guest speakers, roundtable discussions, social and networking events, members will have an opportunity to meet and learn from local entrepreneurs and community business leaders.
Whether you plan to open your own music shop, pet store, or take the corporate world by storm, CEO is the organization for you. If you're itching to start a company today, a few years from now, or just curious to see what running your own business is like, CEO has a lot to offer.

TREP Café
In the true spirit of business, a few students from the Leeds School of Business introduced a little competition to the coffee market on the Boulder campus in 2005. The Trep Café was founded by and is completely run by students. It provides undergraduates with the chance to gain real world experience to complement what they learn in the classroom.
More than a year and a half of planning culminated in a business that serves locally brewed coffee and locally made pastries, sandwiches, burritos, and salads. Trep gives students a place in the Leeds School to meet and have a premium coffee made by their fellow classmates.
The intention of the café is also to give back to students. Once startup costs and loans are repaid, profits go to entrepreneurship scholarships and funding the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization programs and events.
Trep Café, located in the information commons just outside of the business school library, is open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays; hours may be adjusted as needed during finals week.
