4. We are very excited about the STVP Educators Corner which provides
extensive resources for entrepreneurship educators

5. Our biggest challenge is financial sustainability of the center.
Many organizations prefer to invest in start-up activities. Now that our program is established, we have had to be very creative in developing a diversified portfolio of income sources.

6. STVP is working to establish a sustainable
set of conferences around the world for
entrepreneurship educators.
To date, we have hosted seven conferences in the United States and co-hosted four conferences in Europe, two in Latin America, and one in Asia.
We hope to institutionalize these conferences
around the world.
