Mission StatementThe Drucker Entrepreneurship Club encourages innovative thinking among its members and the greater CGU community. Our focus is on the development of ideas with attention given to both potential for success and to the responsible advancement of culture and society.  The Club will develop aspiring entrepreneurs into motivated, ethical, and dynamic business leaders.  As a result we will act as role models for our peers, family, and business leaders.  Our success will be measured not only by the ideas we develop but also by the relationships we forge and the skills we gain.

Club Purpose• Enliven the deep pool of entrepreneurial genius that exists

within Claremont Graduate University.

• Support entrepreneurs through all stages of the entrepreneurial process

• Serve as a nexus to facilitate the development of an Entrepreneurial Community within CGU. 

• The E-Club will encourage the process by organizing workshops, and entrepreneur-executive speeches, and through the support of business plan competitions.  

• Finally, members of the E-Club will enter their business plans in the numerous competitions held annually at business schools nationwide.
