Entrepreneurship is a mindset
“Entrepreneurship is about more than building companies, it’s a mindset. Especially for students, engaging in the entrepreneurial process is extremely valuable. You acquire skills around teamwork, collaboration and risk-taking. These are skills that are going to benefit students no matter what career path they choose.”

What does Made at Mac mean?
“Made at Mac means two things to me. One: Innovations that positively impact our local and global society. Two: It’s about the people — the students, faculty, clinicians and staff who have been trained and developed at Mac and go out there and do innovative and impactful work.”
