Why Should You Donate?
Your support of the Stephenson Entrepreneurship Institute influences the educational and extracurricular experience of students at LSU and the Baton Rouge community directly. These offerings could be the difference in turning a student’s professional dream into a reality. For example, The J Terrell Brown Venture Challenge, a pitch competition offering students a prize of up to $35,000, has been directly responsible for the creation of new businesses. One of these winners is Mallard Bay, an online booking platform for hunting and fishing charters, which is already operating at a national level after winning the Venture Challenge in 2021. Your support of SEI and its many initiatives help empower the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
