Building the Entrepreneurial Mindset

UC Davis alumni Michael C. and Renée Z. Child have made a $5.2 million commitment to the UC Davis Graduate School of Management and College of Engineering in support of entrepreneurship and innovation programs.

Andrew Hargadon, professor of technology management at the University of California, Davis, says there's still value in being together in person.

The Building the Entrepreneurial Mindset Big Idea wants to make innovation and entrepreneurship learning a hallmark of a UC Davis education.

Organized by the Mike and Renee Child Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, the Big Bang! Competition has helped start or grow business ventures for two decades through the workshops, mentoring, networking opportunities, and the main event.
