ECENTER ACROSS THE COUNTRY: SHARING OUR STORYThe ECenter is not quite the secret it was whenwe first opened our doors nearly five years ago.As a result, more and more alumni and alumnientrepreneurs from around the country ask to meetwhen we are in their city to hear about the amazingECenter students with whom we work. More often,this now also includes venture capitalists, HRexecutives, and C-Suite executives who want tosupport the efforts.When we can, we try to bring the real stars, thestudents themselves, to tell their stories firsthand.Without exception, everyone in the room iscaptivated by their ideas, vision, hard work, andability to present. No doubt about it, Wildcatsimpress!This year, ECenter Executive Director Ian Grant wasable to again attend alumni events in Boston, MA,Portland, ME, Phoenix, AZ, and various places inFlorida, with a variety of strategic meetings scatteredin other places. Of course COVID impacted theplans for additional visits in the spring and summer.Ian Grant and President Dean show off theirECenter socks at a UNH event.They Got the Job!If you would like to be part of our 2021 travelschedule please let us know! The ECenter is oneof so many amazing parts of UNH that change thedirection of students’ pursuits, and we will alwaysbe happy to schedule a time to share with you ourpassion for UNH entrepreneurship.ECENTER CAREER IMPACTAs you read in the Student Success section, the students who graduated in May 2020were the first to have had access to the ECenter all four years at UNH. We’ve noticedrecently how much this access to the ECenter has had a positive impact on the careersof UNH graduates. The activities, events, programs, and resources students areparticipating in at the ECenter are setting the students and alumni apart from others inthe job market and as they interview.33Employers are recognizing the value in learning how to ideate, innovate, and problemsolve in experiential learning environments. As such, we launched a new marketingcampaign for the ECenter this year called ECenter Career Impact.
