OEI XVII SET FOR JUNE 11-15

In 2006, Iowa JPEC and the Iowa Lakes Corridor Development organization established the Okoboji Entrepreneurial Institute (OEI) to provide select undergraduate entrepreneurship students with a truly unique educational experience. Educational partners in this initiative include the University of Northern Iowa, Iowa State University, Buena Vista University, and Iowa Lakes Community College. OEI XVII is set for June 11-15, 2023. Iowa JPEC will lead the initiative and select eight Iowa undergraduate students to participate in the program. Preference will be given to students who are participating in current Iowa JPEC academic and co-curricular programs.

To apply (BY APRIL 15), send a resume and statement of interest to David Hensley, Iowa JPEC executive director and professor in the
