The Sherman Center
The Michael J. and Ann Sherman Center is more than a resource—it’s a thriving, inclusive community that empowers technical entrepreneurs and bold innovators to turn ideas into reality. Here, passion meets opportunity with hands-on, student-led programs like Generate and Forge, giving aspiring builders the chance to shape their future. For those ready to take it a step further, our Venture Co-op program offers a transformative six-month experience to launch their own businesses. But our impact doesn’t end there. Through Sherman courses, students can integrate product development into their academic journey, pursuing a Master’s in Product Development or a Minor in Entrepreneurial Engineering—guided by industry experts who bring real-world experience to the classroom. Our doors are open to students from all backgrounds and disciplines. Whether you're maintaining the Sherman Makerspace as a Makerspace Ninja or contributing your creativity to the Sherman Communications team—managing the Sherman Gazette, the ShermCast podcast, and our digital platforms—there’s a place for everyone to make a difference and belong. For over a decade, the Sherman Center has been a hub of innovation, nurturing passionate students determined to change the world. Your support can help us continue to cultivate the next generation of trailblazers and game-changers. Together, we can invest in a future where dreams turn into breakthroughs, and breakthroughs shape a better tomorrow. Join us in this journey—your generosity fuels the spark of innovation.
