Creating a Culture for Entrepreneurship at UNI!


JPEC Collage Photos

In 1996, John Pappajohn, president of Equity Dynamics, Inc. in Des Moines, Iowa, established five entrepreneurial centers throughout Iowa. Although each center defines its own mission and serves the state in a manner consistent with its particular strengths, each center has the same ultimate purpose: to enhance the effectiveness of Iowa's entrepreneurs. The primary mission of the UNI JPEC is two-fold: (1) student/faculty/staff entrepreneurship, and (2) technology transfer.

The JPEC offers many educational programs. They are listed below. Additionally, JPEC staff make numerous public appearances annually. These include speaking engagements on entrepreneurship, the programs of the Center, and specialized workshops/classes. If you are interested in having a JPEC staff member speak to your class or group, please contact us at 319-273-JPEC (5732). The JPEC is a division of UNI's Business and Community Services (BCS).

For those not affiliated with the University of Northern Iowa (not a student, faculty, or staff member) and needing entrepreneurial assistance to start your small business, contact the UNI Small Business Development Center at 212 E. Fourth Street in Waterloo, 319-236-8123l.
