Everyone admires entrepreneurs, and every region aspires to become entrepreneurial.
Whether community colleges should teach entrepreneurship today—or support entrepreneurs—is a nonissue. Colleges want students, graduates, faculty, and administrators to be entrepreneurial. Other countries marvel at, and work to emulate, America’s entrepreneurial culture. But have we got it right yet? Is it really embedded into the culture of the community college, or is it still only a sidebar?
Do we value the entrepreneurs that want to remain small, agile, and independent, who represent a vastly underestimated proportion of the workforce, or only the gazelles we hope will become tomorrow’s Google and Intel?
