The Weekly Roundup is an ongoing project for the McNair Center. Weekly Roundup posts are published Friday afternoons and cover news relating to entrepreneurship from the week (and sometimes the previous weekend). Posts cover news stories and blog posts published by credible sources, including the McNair Center. The Weekly Roundup began in the Fall 2016 term and originally focused on both Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Currently, the McNair Center is only publishing a Weekly Roundup on Entrepreneurship.
