Entrepreneurship Knowledge Bridge

Murali Venkatesh, Associate Professor in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, has been awarded an Enitiative grant to enable the iSchool Entrepreneurship-Club, in coordination with the School of Information Studies and the Whitman School of Management, to build the Entrepreneurship Knowledge Bridge (EKB), an information system accessible over the World Wide Web.

The project targets entrepreneurs in the South Side and near West Side of Syracuse, two economically-depressed neighborhoods recently targeted by Syracuse University for intensive developmental initiatives. By providing entrepreneurs, would-be entrepreneurs and residents a comprehensive, convenient, user-friendly one-stop shop to access unique, customized and archival online content, the EKB hopes to catalyze innovation and business activity in these two Syracuse neighborhoods.
Professor Ping Zhang, like all iSchool professors, makes time to meet with students to ensure the highest quality education for our students.
Our faculty members share their passion for their research and teaching with our students inside and outside of the classroom, often recruiting students to work on projects in one of the iSchool’s prestigious research centers.
