  • Offer periodic lectures at the incubators abour their own entrepeneurial experiences;
  • Invite colleagues and visitors to the inclubators for lectures and discussion;
  • Give feedback on activities of the student entrepeneurship club (EIA);
  • Serve as mentors to student teams involved in NYU's student entrepeneur competitions and help find appropriate faculty mentors for the various Poly teams.
