Entrepreneur Network Group
The mission of the GSU Alumni Entrepreneur Network Group is to support entrepreneurially oriented GSU alumni, to foster and facilitate mentoring, network and education thereby promoting business success.
The current strategic goals of the group are marketing issues; finance; mentoring; discussions with successful business people; and the truth behind ownership/entrepreneurship. To accomplish these goals, the group meets on the second Thursday of each month. The group has also established a monthly networking after hours on the second Tuesday of each month.
The Entrepreneur Network Group is one of many clubs offered by the Alumni Association. As a GSU alumni you may join as many alumni clubs as you would like. Sign up online to become a member of this group. Make sure we have your email address. Invitations will be sent via email.

As part of the Global Entrepreneurship Week celebrations, CenterPoint wants to showcase/publicize GSU Alumni Entrepreneurs. They plan to create posters with pictures of alumni and their companies, which will be located around the University. The same information will be added to their electronic notice board they are developing that will be a part of their website. What a great way to promote your business!
