Notre Dame's IDEA Center is in Innovation Park.
Since the beginning of the school year, 275 Notre Dame students have submitted ideas to the IDEA Center.
Of these, 22 students recently applied to the Spring Student Entrepreneur Pre-Accelerator, and 12 of these student founders were chosen to participate in this program.
The IDEA Center's Pre-Accelerator provides student entrepreneurs with:
- training and resources they need to grow their business,
- structure,
- accountability,
