Impact of College Extracurricular Involvement on Entrepreneurial Outcomes
Despite extensive inquiry, relatively little is understood about the factors which shape entrepreneurs as young adults. This paper examines the impact of college extracurricular involvement on the entrepreneurial outcomes of alumni; it considers which extracurricular activities are most strongly associated with entrepreneurship. Additionally, it explores whether the number of extracurricular activities participated in by students impacts their proclivity for entrepreneurship. It observes 219 alumni of Claremont McKenna College and uses data from the institution’s public records as well as alumni’s LinkedIn profiles. This data contains information on entrepreneurship, indicated by job titles, and five extracurricular activities. Using a probit model that controls for academic major, I find that college extracurricular involvement is positively associated with the entrepreneurial outcomes of alumni. Club leadership has the strongest marginal impact on entrepreneurship, followed by research institute participation. Additionally, the results show that the number of extracurricular activities participated in by students is positively associated with their entrepreneurial outcomes. This paper concludes that further research should be conducted on a larger dataset that is more comprehensive and diverse
A recipe for exotic 2-links in closed 4-manifolds whose components are topological unknots
We describe a construction procedure of infinite sets of -links in closed
simply connected 4-manifolds that are topologically isotopic, smoothly
inequivalent and componentwise topologically unknotted. These 2-links are the
first examples of such kind in the literature. The examples provided have
surface and free groups as their 2-link groups. We also point out an exotic
Brunnian behaviour of such families, which highlights the important role of
linking in creating exotic phenomena.Comment: v2: The paper has been rewritten to include the case of 2-links. New
