Welcome    to    the    Illinois    State    University    Collegiate     Entrepreneurs'    Organization


What    is   Our    Purpose?


We see entrepreneurship as innovation in action.  To engage the ISU community in this notion of entrepreneurship, our purpose is to promote and support the entrepreneurial mindset and skill set of all ISU students through innovative experiential learning opportunities.  

Membership is available to all ISU undergraduate, graduate students, and alumni.  As we strive to become a powerful force for entrepreneurship across campus, we particularly encourage students and alumni from outside the State Farm Hall of Business to become active members - we want your ideas!   


ISU CEO is a chapter of the National Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization, the premier global entrepreneurship network serving over 500 colleges and universities.  When you join ISU CEO, you become a member of the national organization, and part of a movement to engage the entire ISU community in entrepreneurship!

What    can     CEO     offer     you?


Lemonade Day, which is an opportunity for CEO members to help train the next generation of entrepreneurs in goal-setting, business plan development, budgeting, raising capital, customer service, and philanthropy. Remember running a lemonade stand when you were a kid?  Help children across the Twin Cities reach for their dreams through running a lemonade stand.
