Meet the Enterprise and Entrepreneurial Education Team 

The Enterprise and Entrepreneurial Education team consists of the Associate Dean of Education (Arts and Divinity), teaching faculty members, staff members, and postgraduate and undergraduate students.  

As a team, we come from a variety of disciplines and international backgrounds. Together we work to creatively and collaboratively support students in their enterprise and entrepreneurial goals.  

We are the first to say it: ‘Enterprise is for everyone!’
