Welcome!

The Kauffman Campus Initiative (KCI) at the University of Texas at El Paso was established in 2004 through a grant funded by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. The overarching goal of the Kauffman Campus Initiative is to enhance the economic development of the region by supporting an end-to-end process for establishing innovative enterprises. The goals of KCI are as follows:

  • Contribute to the body of knowledge (BOK) on entrepreneurship, with an emphasis on Hispanic entrepreneurship.
  • Educate and develop students, faculty, staff, and members of the community from a broad range of disciplines on entrepreneurship.
  • Promote entrepreneurship in the university and the region.

The impact of KCI has reached across the UTEP’s campus with involvement of faculty in the colleges of Business, Education, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Science, as well as the School of Nursing. The efforts of UTEP’s KCI are being sustained through two centers: the Center of Hispanic Entrepreneurship and the Center for Research Entrepreneurship (CfHE) that fosters the generation, transformation and use of knowledge regarding Hispanic entrepreneurship; and the Center for Research Entrepreneurship and Innovative Enterprises (CREIE) that will realize the goal of enhancing economic development in the region. Because of its initiatives and programs on entrepreneurship, UTEP’s KCI was recognized in Fortune Small Business magazine, and it received attention in the New York Times.
