I found the meeting with Peter Cortle a fascinatingly informative one. I was not sure what to expect, but I figured that the subject of entrepreneurship was something I have considered before but knew little about. Peter delved into his own experience. Like me, he was an ILR major. He felt an interest in having his own start up and what I find truly inspiring is that he did not just sit on his dreams. He aspired to succeed so he took actions into his own hands. Cornell’s entrepreneurship program is not as strong now as it was when he was starting out. And, unfortunately, he had no one to guide him away from the extremely difficult clothing industry. Nonetheless, he was able to use his experience not only to better himself, but also to impart his wisdom on entrepreneurship newbies. Cornell has a great network of people just waiting to invest in something very promising. Additionally, there is a class dedicated to shaping students’ pitches for their innovations. I find myself very lucky to be part of such a prestigious school with endless opportunities.
