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.

Associate Professor Ping Zhang, like all iSchool professors, makes time to meet with students to ensure the highest quality education for our students.
As one of the smallest schools at Syracuse University, faculty members often get to know students on a first name basis and through casual interactions outside of the classroom.
