An Elizabethtown College program designed to jump start the next generation of social entrepreneurs has been shelved by COVID-19. But the week-long summer academy for high school students called Entrepreneurship with a Purpose, and scheduled for July will be held on campus sometime next summer. 

Elizabethtown College’s new president, Cecilia McCormick, says she arrived at a time when higher education is in a state of disruption. “We can’t continue as we have been,” she said. “At Elizabethtown, we have to make sure we continue to deliver a high-quality education, but also to make sure that education is affordable for our students.”

Over the last decade, Elizabethtown College has been reusing food waste while providing a learning opportunity for its students.
