DePaul University has always been ranked among the top entrepreneurship academic programs nationwide, but hasn't produced as many of the high profile startup success stories seen from other universities in the city.

Now Bruce Leech, the new director of the Coleman Center for Entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship professor Patrick  Murphy are hoping to change that by focusing on the areas that DePaul students have traditionally been strong--startups that serve international communities, low tech businesses and social enterprise ventures--while connecting student entrepreneurs with incubators, coworking spaces and innovation hubs around the city to combine strong classroom work with experiential learning.
