Director’s Note: Signs of spring

Spring is, well, starting to spring! We have been teased by some warmer days, which truly seem to transform Cornell overnight. For entrepreneurship, spring is the time for one of our big conferences. The Entrepreneurship at Cornell Celebration is April 11^th and 12^th. Hope to see you then! Also, spring is the time that we place a whole bunch of students in “startup” internships. If you have a company that could use an intern please let us know asap (just email dlm8@cornell.edu). Thanks!
