From today's NDE News
You know, Syracuse U is an interesting place (especially in the realm of entrepreneurship education and, most especially, in the realm of women's entrepreneurship). What's cool for me is that it's in my back yard here, so I get to watch it be interesting from 'closeup and personal'.
Here's the latest interesting thing Syracuse has come up with:

There are a number of interesting movies that can teach us about entrepreneurship. In fact, some of our greatest films, such as Citizen Kane, chronicle the lives of real or fictional entrepreneurs. An interesting new project based at Syracuse University, Lessons from Hollywood, hopes to be more systematic about linking films to entrepreneurship education. Syracuse’s Whitman School of Management is sponsoring a competition to find the best and most effective movie clips that portray key aspects of the entrepreneurial process. The competition is open to all, and the winner will receive a grand prize of $1,000. Through the competition and their own research, the Syracuse team plans to develop a movie clip database that can be utilized by entrepreneurship educators around the world. Contest submissions are due by March 1, 2006.
