ENTREPRENEURSHIP BREAKFAST - HOSTED BY THE TRINITY ALUMNI DEPARTMENT IS SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 8, 2011 FROM 8-9AM!!

Please join Dr. Luz. Glanchai on October 8th for a Breakfast and presentation on "Trinity University: Building an Entrepreneurial Community in San Antonio."  The cost is only $12 and you can register today by clicking HERE!

Dr. Luz Cristal Sanchez Glangchai is the associate director of the Trinity Entrepreneurship Program and teachs courses in the program as well as creates, promotes, and directs special events and activities to foster relationships between Trinity students and entrepreneurs in the community.

“I would like to create a cross-disciplinary program that is all inclusive and open to all disciplines across campus,” said Glangchai. “I would like this program to give students the strategic skills to be able to go out and meet society’s challenges and be able to create products and services that can benefit society.”

Glangchai received a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. She furthered her education at the University of Texas with a master’s and doctorate in biomedical engineering.

Trinity’s Entrepreneurship Program gives students the opportunity to be creative, explore, and gain hands-on experience in discovering and solving problems in society. The ultimate goal is to be able to take to market products that students design and produce.

Glangchai is developing three initiatives directed at students, faculty, and the San Antonio community, including 3DS - a Three Day Startup, in which students and area entrepreneurs spend 72 hours promoting passions and ideas by forming a company, drawing up a business plan, and making pitches to potential investors.  

“For me, it’s been a process of realizing that technology, inventions, and research doesn’t have inherent value until you actually apply it to be able to help society,” said Glangchai, “If you follow your passion you can really achieve anything.”

Sign up before September 23rd to receive pre-printed name tags.
