Feb 02, 2026 Happy Hour with an Entrepreneur

Students are invited to Happy Hour with an Entrepreneur (HHwE), a student-led event series hosted by the Entrepreneurship & Small Business Institute (ESBI) that connects CSUCI students with entrepreneurs, founders, and business leaders. Held in a relaxed, conversational setting, HHwE offers students the opportunity to hear real-world stories about entrepreneurship, leadership, and small business development.

Each Zoom session features a guest entrepreneur who shares insights from their professional journey, including challenges faced, lessons learned, and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. Students are encouraged to engage through open discussion, Q&A, and networking, making HHwE an accessible and interactive learning experience.

This spring, ESBI looks forward to welcoming a new group of entrepreneurs and continuing to foster meaningful connections between students and the local business community. HHwE is open to all students interested in innovation, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
