Values

"Do Good. Do Well."

Entrepreneurs display concern for the good of the larger society in their role, through good work (“do good”), helping others or support of educational, civic, social or charitable activities. They also display organizational or financial success (“do well”) and achieve relative to those in their chosen setting. At the Cook School, these values are the root of our entrepreneurial education and center.
