What Is a Student-Run Venture?
Performance Learning is one of Millikin's core learning philosophies, where students are offered a wide range of opportunities to test drive their skills in an environment outside of the classroom. These business ventures are supported by Millikin faculty and staff, but they are managed and run by our students. This is the difference between passing a test on the fundamentals of running a small business versus actually running a small business venture with real money at stake. We call these student-run ventures.
