The Colopy Entrepreneurship Program at NCSSM was established in 2024 through a generous donation from the Colopy family, whose shared vision is to inspire innovation and opportunity among young leaders. Rooted in NCSSM’s mission of interdisciplinary and experiential learning, the program empowers students to explore entrepreneurship through hands-on workshops, mentorship opportunities, and access to resources like microgrants and accelerators. By integrating business principles with creative problem-solving, the Colopy Program equips students to launch ventures that address real-world challenges, bridging the gap between classroom learning and impactful community engagement.
