About Bryant Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization
Executive Summary
The Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization at Bryant University is a dynamic group of motivated and passionate students who have an interest in implementing an entrepreneurial mindset in their lives. Bryant CEO is not just for those interested in starting a business - rather, we believe that entrepreneurship is a way of thinking that makes one more apt to become a creative problem-solver. Bryant CEO aims to provide its members a balance of inspiration, networking opportunities, and tangible skill sets.
Weekly general member meetings consist of either a dynamic guest speaker or a highly interactive workshop. Annually, Bryant CEO hosts two pitch competitions that are required for all first-year students, the App-A-Thon, programs such as our Creator Program and Event Management Program, and the Bryant University Northeast Entrepreneurship Conference (BUNEEC). BUNEEC is Bryant CEO's signature event; a conference completely planned by the students in CEO, we bring in students and young entrepreneurs from across the Northeast to hear from industry visionaries and "new-thought" leaders.​
Our Vision and Mission
We want to be the backbone of our members’ college experience. We do this by providing the resources students need to succeed through programs such as our “So You Wanna Be A CEO” underclassman certification program, our weekly networking opportunities, and by creating a community. Our members get to know each other by working together at our weekly meetings and participating in workshops and social events. Our goal is to create an environment where members can make valuable connections through networking and learn how to apply entrepreneurship to their lives. We want to show students that they can make entrepreneurship unique to them and that everyone has a different definition of what it means.
Presence
Bryant CEO needs to have a strong presence on campus to accomplish our goal of creating a campus-wide entrepreneurial mindset. We accomplish this by holding consistent events throughout the year to attract a crowd and keep our members engaged. Our goal is to become a resource for other campus organizations and students looking to succeed in business and as leaders.
