She asks for students to <a href=\"mailto:jalbahrani@transy.edu\">contact her<\/a> if they\u2019re interested in participating or have ideas about the center, and she plans to spread the word about it to the local community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With academic components planned for the future, the center initially will focus on engaging students with extracurricular, experiential programs and events, including startup competitions, internships, workshops and a speaker series; they\u2019ll also be introduced to successful businesspeople and organizations in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being in Lexington \u2014 which ranks in the country&#8217;s top 10 cities for entrepreneurs \u2014 provides many opportunities for students to network with local business leaders and get hands-on workplace experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to having the obvious business angle, entrepreneurship fits well with Transylvania\u2019s overall liberal arts mission. Al Bahrani pointed out how it can provide opportunities to pursue social change and for students to develop a creative mindset. And from an interdisciplinary perspective, students in a variety of majors \u2014 from art to anthropology \u2014 can benefit from an entrepreneurial spirit as they think about personal branding and earning a living after graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for specific programs, Steve Angelucci, assistant to the president for special projects, noted the center is planning partnerships with several local and regional groups to deliver experiential programs connecting Transylvania students to relevant businesses and industry leaders. More details on these will be announced soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Angelucci, who has been working to get the center up and running, said members of the school community \u2014 from trustees to students \u2014 have embraced the idea for it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The university sought a director who not only understands business, but can also work well with faculty. &#8220;It takes a skilled person with multiple talents, and I&#8217;m very excited that we have found someone who exudes that,\u201d Angelucci said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transylvania has hired an
