Abstract
Experiential entrepreneurship has become a significant pedagogy in preparing American students to
compete in the dynamic and consolidating global economy. Whereas the model of experiential learning
facilitates collaboration between industry experts, entrepreneurs and community stakeholders, it is imperative
to look at entrepreneurship from a global perspective. Medgar Evers College has a mission for social justice and
socio-economic transformation. Through the Entrepreneurship & Experiential Learning (EEL) lab, students
are exposed to industry leaders, faculty and other stakeholders to the benefits of global entrepreneurship and
experiential learning. This paperis a case study that discusses lessons learned on innovation, culture and
entrepreneurship from students and faculty’s exposure to innovation and international entrepreneurs from
Kenya, Chile, Costa Rico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, China, London, Paris, Japan and Thailand.
Additionally, the paper addresses the implications on entrepreneurial learning by encouraging diverse
perspectives and practicefor the student entrepreneurs in the 21st century. The originality of the paper is in it’s
diversity of perspectives – it is a collaboration of faculty and staff on three different continents and three
academic institutions.
