About the SVEC:

Our Club was launched in the summer of 2020. We seek to build a virtual community of students globally who are current university and college students at any level of study (undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, professional or postdoctoral). Our chapter has monthly meetings, guest speakers, and will develop more programming as we grow and are influenced by motivated student leaders yet to come.  The SVEC is a Chapter of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (CEO).  

Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization a 501 (c) (3) not for profit charitable corporation, founded in 1983 It supports more than 16,500 emerging collegiate entrepreneurs annually. CEO believes that any student, regardless of academic discipline, can launch a business.  Through its global network of more than 250 college and university chapters, CEO supports and inspires the growth and development of any student that seeks to be entrepreneurial.

Our SVEC Chapter of CEO is student-run. We look forward to launching the Club this summer and growing it into a large and active virtual organization over the coming years. If you are interested in the potential for joining the leadership committee or becoming an officer in the Club, please contact us about this possibility as we are actively building our team now. Our Club will operate 100% virtually, and is open to any college or university student at any level, including those who are joining a university (“rising”) within the next year, or leaving a university (“first year out”).
