    Dear Scholars:

    We invite you to attend virtually our annual hybrid colloquium on transitional entrepreneurship (TE) at ODU Strome College of Business on June 23rd and 24th. Transitional entrepreneurship focuses on issues facing entrepreneurs from communities that face significant adversity in launching ventures and for whom the path involves substantive life transitions. Thus colloquium focuses on entrepreneurship among veterans, immigrants, refugees, women, historically marginalized groups, and economically distressed communities. The colloquium is the third of a series of annual colloquia sponsored by a grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. 

    Colloquium Mission

    •             Bring together a diverse community of scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in entrepreneurship among transitional communities.

    •             Generate and disseminate a body of knowledge that motivates relevant future research projects and actionable ideas in transitional entrepreneurship
