Students looking to gain knowledge on creating their own business can enhance their skills in the business world by joining the registered student organization CEO: ISU Chapter, formerly known as the Entrepreneurship Club.
Jenny McGurn, a senior small business management major, said she believes the club can help those who are willing to work hard for their future career.
"Our target people are self-motivated, driven, personable people. People that have the desire to get the job done and not just what is expected of them," McGurn said.
She has been a part of the club for about a year and a half. During this time, she has been the club's president, which she recently stepped down from because she is graduating this spring.
Rob Duerr, a sophomore finance and economics major, is the group's new president after being involved with the club for two years.
The club is hoping to spread the word about themselves and gain more members.
"Our club is perfect for anyone who is business-savvy. We have a small, diverse group of people who we feel strengthen the club. We have a lot of people who bring different aspects and can utilize their talents," Duerr said.
McGurn said she loves the fact that the club provides a comfortable environment for all the members.
"It gives you a real intricate group of people that you get to work with and get to know. You see the same 10 to 15 people [and] you get to know them better. I think our club has a family-esque atmosphere," she said.
The club is involved in many activities in order to help the club expand and gain recognition. The club recently attended the CEO conference in Chicago, and according to Duerr, the next conference will be held in Orlando.
"The CEO conference is where we got our name," McGurn said, referring to the recent name change of the club.
By participating in these activities, members are taught new ways to improve their business skills. Through an array of speakers, they learn something new from each person.
