About the Entrepreneurship at Rowan Podcast
Building on our philosophy of creating experiential learning opportunities for students, the Entrepreneurship at Rowan podcast is a student-led effort organized in partnership between the School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Rowan Radio.
Hosts for each season of Entrepreneurship at Rowan are Rowan students and/or recent alumni, the artwork for the podcast (and most of the SIE website) was designed by the talented Nicole Manley, a recent Rowan graphic design graduate, and editing for the episodes are done by an amazing team of undergraduate Rowan students including Radio/TV/Film major Ethan Rappleye and Marketing and Entrepreneurship major Megan Steckler. We are especially thankful for the leadership and expertise of Derek Jones, Station Manager at Rowan Radio 89.7 WGLS-FM, and the financial support provided from Rowan's Entrepreneurship Advisory Council.
