The Crotty Advisory Council, comprised of entrepreneurs and economic development leaders, reviews our entrepreneurship curriculum and extracurricular activities and often supplements classroom instruction, allowing entrepreneurship students to learn from a combination of the best academic scholarship and successful business practice.

Providing advice and guidance to the L. William Crotty Center is a group of successful business leaders and entrepreneurs, the Crotty Advisory Council (CAC). The CAC is a valuable sounding board for all of UD's entrepreneurship activities.

Meeting twice a year, the Crotty Advisory Council (CAC) assists the Director and other ENT faculty in continuously improving the quality of the ENT major, the Crotty Center's programs, activities, and long-term strategy. Our members are actual entrepreneurs or professionals holding high-level positions in the field of business, community development or business enterprises. The activity of the CAC blends the best of academic thought and actual business practice.

The following individuals are members, advisors, faculty, and staff of the CAC.
