的 Medicis were a wealthy banking family in Florence in the 15th century. 的 family and other like-minded supporters decided to bring together great thinkers of the day from many disciplines and cultures from around the world. Not only were sculptors, 诗人, philosophers and painters included, but also scientists and those focused on business and trade. 在佛罗伦萨, 他们走到了一起, shared thoughts and ideas, and broke down the barriers between disciplines and cultures.

Students will have the opportunity to be a part of three national entrepreneurship groups: Collegiate Entrepreneurship Organization (CEO) is the largest such affiliation. CEO has a primary focus on growing an entrepreneurial high-growth firm; next, DECA is a national organization focusing on the free enterprise system where entrepreneurship is highly valued; finally, students interested in social entrepreneurship will be right at home in the ENACTUS organization.
