Center for Entrepreneurship in Liberal Education in Beloit
The Center for Entrepreneurship in Liberal Education at Beloit (CELEB) opened its doors in 2004. Located a ten-minute stroll from the center of campus to the downtown’s central business district, and across the street from both the Hendricks Center for the performing arts and the Beloit College bookstore, CELEB offers an intimate place for working that is free of campus distraction.
The building is completely wired, with an automated telephone system and a high-speed internet connection feeding the Ethernet LAN network. Beloit Access TV and Maple Tree studios feature state-of-the art equipment, as does the linear/analog and off-line video editing and audio engineering and editing suites. The building also hosts space and offices for the Myers Gallery ABBA, the “What is Social Excellence” (WISE) Foundation, managed entirely by students, and the Coleman New Ventures Lab that, itself, hosts multiple student businesses.
Students use all these facilities to put their classroom learning to use. Furthermore, CELEB brings together students who have a wide array of interests ranging from music, video, communications technology, film and business. In the “real world,” most production is collaborative. CELEB seeks to unite and integrate these separate interests into a single entity capable of increasingly professional collaborations. This kind of activity will aid you to become prepared and excited to challenge yourself and to develop patterns for a life of perpetual learning and doing.
CELEB seeks to enable and empower students to gain a fulfilling life, marked by high personal achievement and public contribution, through imparting the skills of successful venturing, in all its forms.
