CFE Faculty Fellows


The Center for Free Enterprise Faculty Fellows program is open to all full-time University of Louisville faculty members, including those from all disciplines and academic areas across campus. We seek “academic entrepreneurs” interested in integrating an entrepreneurial mindset and way of thinking, as well as related concepts, tools, and frameworks.

The goal is to foster inter-disciplinary collaboration around creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship as a means of advancing the well-being of society. Our focus is on entrepreneurial thinking to address community, regional, and worldwide challenges, leveraging and growing this way of thinking regardless of discipline or academic area.

For more information about the CFE Faculty Fellows program, email Steve Gohmann, Director, Center for Free Enterprise.
