CSUCI Names New Entrepreneurship Director

Camarillo-based CSU Channel Islands is boosting its efforts to reach out to the local business community, saying it has named a new director of its Entrepreneurship & Small Business Institute (ESBI), part of the school's Martin V. Smith (MVS) School of Business & Economics. According to CSUCI, Assistant Professor of Management, Cynthia Sherman, Ph.D., will head the institute, which is designed to help launch student entrepreneurs. CSCU said its institute lets students work with and learn from local business leaders while the students design, launch and run their own businesses. In a statement, Sherman says she's looking to develop partnerships with the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) fields, and give the school's students greater exposure to the business community and for the business community to see our students as great interns, employees and employers.
