Association of Student Entrepreneurs (ASE)

The Association of Student Entrepreneurs (ASE) is a student-led 501(c)(3) organization that empowers students to break the status quo and bring bold ideas to life. 

ASE continues its hands-on work with Sweet Carolina Water, a student-led venture that bottles spring water in eco-friendly cans, offering a sustainable alternative to plastic. While we’re still working to secure a canning partner and aren’t yet in the market, that challenge is part of the entrepreneurial process we’ll tackle together.

Students in ASE collaborate in teams focused on product development, marketing, supply chain, and accounting, applying their classroom knowledge to a real-world venture in motion. It’s a rare opportunity to help build a business from the inside out: problem-solving, decision-making, and learning by doing.
