Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between entrepreneurial education, personal attitudes, and entrepreneurial intent of college students participating in a college pitch competition. The three components of social innovation, social entrepreneurship, and particularly a concept entitled changemaking, align with mobilizing choice, talents, and skills to better the human experience (Coleman, 2018). Additionally, college graduates are looking for the development of “soft skills” to become more eminent in universities and industries alike, and experiential learning provides unprecedented opportunities to develop these skills for students.
