Kummer Student Programs is introducing a new initiative designed to recognize and celebrate achievements beyond the classroom: Badges of Entrepreneurial Excellence. Open to all S&T students, this program offers badges that validate and showcase the knowledge and skills developed outside traditional academic settings.

What are the Badges of Entrepreneurial Excellence?

Each badge in this program acknowledges contributions in key areas essential for an entrepreneurial mindset:

• Leadership
• Research
• Social responsibility
• Design and build
• Entrepreneurship

How it works:

To earn a badge, students participate in specific experiences tailored to each category, including challenges, guest lectures and community service activities. After fulfilling the requirements, participants will receive:

• A physical and digital badge.
• A portfolio showcasing completed activities.
• An exclusive invitation to a celebration dinner with distinguished S&T alumni.

Completion benefits:

Completing all five badges brings additional rewards:

• A certificate of completion.
• A personalized letter of recommendation.
• A Badges of Entrepreneurial Excellence jacket.
