RLCIE fosters and supports the entrepreneurial initiatives of the students at the Claremont Colleges. The Center provides resources for faculty and student research on topics related to innovation and entrepreneurship; supports curricular and co-curricular programming, including workshops, networking events, speakers; and mentoring and internship programs. The RLCIE leadership team includes students, faculty, staff, and an Advisory Board.
The RLCIE building is a space for student enrichment and collaboration. A mix of creative, casual lounges and professional meeting places, the Center aims to create an environment where any student at the 5C’s is encouraged to develop their own interest in entrepreneurship regardless of experience. Students have access to laboratory space, design software, and other resources for venture development or bouncing ideas off one another. Students are encouraged to reserve space for group work or make an appointment with an RLCIE team member.
