Entrepreneurship Week
Written by Tori Saseen and Mallory Merkle. Edited by Dr. Cathleen Jones
At RMU, there is an amazing opportunity for students to learn about entrepreneurship. The Massey Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation (MCEI) is striving to do just that. With events planned throughout the entire academic year, MCEI engages students and faculty to connect and participate in entrepreneurship events. The main event for the center is called Entrepreneurship Week and takes place in November. While this year’s events have not been put into place just yet, previous years have been quite successful. The events that took place were Venture Day for America, the debut of the Entrepreneur in Residence, and a Vision Board event with a student group on campus.
Venture Day for America was an event with Katie Grimm. She hosted a lunch and learn with students in attendance and students were able to ask her questions and learn about how businesses come to be in America.
The debut of the Entrepreneur in Residence was to showcase David and Mary Jo Dietrich, the founders of Caregogi, and their introduction to the campus. During their time in residence, they served as a resource for students and a network connection for faculty.
The Vision Board event was done with a student organization on RMU’s campus known as Women in Business (WIB). WIB hosted the Director of the Center, Dr. Griffin-El, to talk about how women should plan their goals and how women in entrepreneurial positions are changing the work environment. Students created their own vision board where they created their dreams with magazines and other materials.
If students want to get in contact with MCEI, they can find us at https://www.rmu.edu/about/massey/what-we-do MCEI is open to all students and is greatly encouraged for anyone who has a small business.

RMU Virtual Career Fair: October 1st
The Career and Professional Development Center (CPDC) is excited to host our first-ever virtual career fair in partnership with Handshake on October 1st from 12:00 – 4:00 pm.
The Fair is open to all RMU students and alumni. In order to participate, students must have an active account in Handshake which they have by virtue of being registered for the Fall, 2020 semester. Students should make sure their Student Profile is up to date and includes a solid resume. Their Success Coach in the Center for Student Success and Personal Development will be able to provide resume assistance if needed. Students will be able to network with employers and have career-related discussions just as they would in an in-person career fair – only without the waiting in line.
Student registration will open on August 24th and will continue up until the day of the fair.
Using Handshake to host our virtual career fair allows employers to host one-on-one meetings and group sessions with up to 50 participants. Students can register for specific sessions with employers for both group and one-on-one sessions which eliminates the “waiting in a virtual line” factor.
Employers will be recruiting for internships, part-time, and full-time positions. They, too, must have an active Handshake account to participate. Employer registration will open at 9:00 am on August 12th, giving them ample time to establish their sessions before students begin to register. We hope you will encourage your network of trusted employers to participate.
More information will follow as we get closer to October 1st.
For more information please reach out to the Career and Professional Development Center at careercenter@rmu.edu or contact Ellen Hitchins at hitchins@rmu.edu.
