We co-host the Jumpstart class

May and August at UNR, but due to
limited funding in our LOA budget
we can only jointly host it with UNR
once a year.
Currently we are working with the
part-time entrepreneurship
instructors and this will continue
every semester. For example, I have
shared my syllabus for ENT 280 and
rubrics with our LOA's for
consistency in teaching methods.
We also email on a weekly basis
