Luke Burgis created the CEDE program to help secondary education, Catholic high schools, homeschool communities, and families, to begin this re-integration of the virtuous work of magnanimous cocreation into the vocational discernment process for young people. We want to help. Let us know if you want to learn more about how.
Prof. Luke Burgis elaborates on how to redeem higher education from soul-deadening conformity in “The Promise of Entrepreneurial Education,” in City Journal.

Our methodology of “do first, talk later” follows the pedagogy of Christ himself. CEDE has the ability to impact entrepreneurship students of all ages. We’re looking for the schools and communities that want to immerse their young in the constant renewal of society. And it’s FREE! Contact us today to get started.
This week, we had the privilege of hosting Jon Bachura, Director of our CEDE Program, in our Vocations of Business class! Our students had an incredible experience participating in market-like games, gaining insights into the importance of value creation, and most importantly, the best practices of entrepreneurship.

CEDE is based on the approach of The Busch School of Business and developed by the entrepreneurs who lead the Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship at The Catholic University of America. We want to help your students encounter the entrepreneur inside them. Ask us how.
After ten years of playing pit with entrepreneurship students this past week at The Busch School of Business, we set a new level of excellence. I've had a few days to reflect on it and would like to share two things that led to the best rounds ever. There were more, but these two stood out the most. 1. These are, for the most part, first-semester freshman undergrads, minus a couple of non-traditional students that I got to meet. 18 years old, finally living college life at one of the best schools, in the capital of the United States of America, on a Tuesday morning. But they were different. It puzzled me for a couple of days, in a good way. Their response was more communal in nature, and I couldn't figure out why. Then, it hit me. We played later this semester than we normally do, which means, to me, that they have gotten to know each other better. They've had more time. And not just in this class but in their lives. They come from all over the mid-Atlantic, and some of them come from across the country. For some of them, this is their first time living away from family, friends, and the usual suspect comforts and conformities. And for a couple of them that I got to talk to, they are the first of their family to attend ANY university, let alone The Catholic University of America. We purposely build auction items that can easily be shared and split if the winning bidder wants to. Call it "a nudge." But those items typically get picked up on Thursday after we've played a different game that specifically forces them to form small groups during the rounds. Tuesday, they went first. And, because they were already at that point in their personal relationships, they were pooling their resources earlier, too. For that first item that we sold, you could hear the group shouting from the crowd to their representative tasked with picking the item, "Get the big bag of mints! We can SHARE!" My heart swelled. 2. In partnership with that, they got to the rivalry stage a whole day earlier. You see, after playing these market-based games and earning bags full of poker chips, the last auction item on Thursday is always a pure "us versus them" type of scene. At that point, they know the poker chips are coming home with me and are worthless after the session. So they drive up the bid, and two rival factions always emerge. To them, it doesn't matter what the last auction item is. It's about winning. It happened this time on Tuesday (and Thursday). I think it has to do with their connection, but it allowed us to dig deeper into the need for entrepreneurs to build networks at every stage. The tension in the auction is fun for me and challenges their ability to make decisions under pressure. "So what," you ask? My thesis is renewed: We don't have to teach them to be entrepreneurs. They already are. Our task is to help them encounter themselves in market scenarios and hold space for the soulcraft of entrepreneurship. They will do the rest. 😀

What entrepreneurship education looks like at The Catholic University of America & The Busch School of Business. We want to bring this to your student. Ask us how.
Jon Bachura is leading classes for Mercatum Week. Yesterday, he played his own variation on the game of Pit, adjusted to teach Entrepreneurship lessons with the students in 118. He introduced them to an open outcry commodity marketplace with its own fiat currency! @jonbachura
