Good afternoon -
I would like to personally invite you and your university to participate in the Entrepreneurship Education Project - a longitudinal grassroots effort to understand the impact of entrepreneurship education on undergraduate students' motivational processes and eventual career choices and performance. Currently, we have roughly 300+ schools from over 60 countries participating in the project, and we would welcome you into our growing community. Some important specifics in terms of what I would be asking and the benefits you could receive:
Project Steps:
1. Complete a short survey at
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ented to gather information about various aspects of your university. Toward the end of this survey, please indicate "yes" to the question whether you're participating in the Entrepreneurship Education Project (if you choose to participate) as the subsequent questions will help me develop a unique survey for your students.
2. I would create a unique survey for your students, then I would ask you to invite as many undergraduate students from across campus as possible to participate - entrepreneurship students, business students not engaged in entrepreneurship, non-business students engaged in entrepreneurship, and non-business students not engaged in entrepreneurship. Bottom line is the more students we can get to participate from as many corners of the university, the more robust our data and findings will be, because we just do not know where tomorrow's entrepreneurs are studying today!
From there, I will take over in terms of all project logistics.
Benefits:
1. After data collection closes at your university, I will release the entire dataset to you (currently there are roughly 20,000 student responses with many, many more anticipated). I encourage collaborators to do just that - collaborate on research projects. The only "rule" with the data is that if you want to use data from another school, you obtain permission (or better yet, collaborate) from the contact at that university.
2. You become a linked in member of a community of hundreds of entrepreneurship educators around the world who are all very interested in enhancing the experiences of our students in our classrooms and across our campuses.
I invite you to visit our website at
www.entrepeduc.org for more information, or ask me any questions you may have.
Thank you for your time, and I hope you and/or your colleagues at your university will consider participating in this effort to help us collectively improve entrepreneurship education.
Best
Doan
