Club announces upcoming plans

August 9, 2013 by Bailey Connor

Launch has a busy schedule planned out for next year with many new and innovative ideas. The main goal for the coming year is to promote entrepreneurship among students of all interests and all majors at Wooster. Launch wants to encourage students to turns ideas into action. The club will have many hands-on learning experiences, including field trips to several local businesses and the management of several student businesses as well as a loan fund for the Wooster area. In addition, the club wants to work with students on campus who need funding to start a business.

Launch will begin the year by bringing in several entrepreneurs who started businesses while in college. The event will be held on Tuesday, September 10th, from 6-8pm in the Lowry Pit.

The College of Wooster’s Entrepreneurship Club gets re-named

August 9, 2013 by Bailey Connor

Launch (1) In 2008, some daring students and a professor submitted a charter for Wooster’s Entrepreneurship Club or WEC. Some where between 2008 and 2011 when I came to school as a freshman, the acronym “WEC” had been lost and “E-club” had taken its place. The new name was catchy and much easier to pronounce and write, however, it many people didn’t know what it stood for or believed it stood for “Economics Club.” After much deliberation at the end of last year, the club decided to rename itself to Launch. The name was chosen because it reflects the club’s new focus – to help launch student businesses on campus and promote entrepreneurship.
