Albright Entrepreneurs Village
The Albright Entrepreneurs Village (AEV), located on Centennial Campus, is NC State’s living and learning community for student entrepreneurs. AEV provides sophomores and above the opportunity to experience entrepreneurship on and off-campus.
Residents have the opportunity to explore their interests in a supportive community. Specialized programming includes mentorship and networking events, trips and tours, and regular meetings with alumni and startup founders. Villagers also benefit from joining like-minded peers, and peer mentors, and having access to competitions and social events all designed to expand your entrepreneurial skills and mindset in a fun environment.
Life in the village has been so much more than a community of like-minded peers… It opened my eyes to entrepreneurship and gave me countless opportunities to grow and lead!

The Mentorship Meetups are an amazing opportunity to meet new people and learn about their backgrounds and businesses. Every mentor is always willing to answer any questions, and I learned a lot! I will definitely be attending as many sessions as I can in the upcoming semester, the lessons I learned were incredibly valuable.
