Perricelli-Gegnas Center for E&I at Bucknell

Bucknell's Perricelli-Gegnas Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation serves as a catalyst that helps students develop an entrepreneurial mindset — one that is resilient, resourceful, curious and solutions-focused. By providing experiential learning opportunities, the center equips students with a versatile set of skills that will enhance their ability to navigate complex problems, transform challenges into opportunities and contribute meaningfully to diverse fields.

The center helps students from all three of Bucknell's colleges develop entrepreneurial skills through a rich entrepreneurial ecosystem. Taking the concept beyond the classroom, students engage in hands-on opportunities that allow them to create products, imagine innovative new businesses and consider solutions to global problems in any discipline. With a focus on ethics and the common good, the center's program teaches students to take purposeful, experiential action to bring new ideas to life.
