A group of seven people stands together at an indoor event in front of a blue ECU Miller School of Entrepreneurship backdrop. Four young men in suits stand in the center, smiling and holding a large ceremonial check for $20,000 made out to “Carolina Cleaning Boys,” dated April 15, 2026, recognizing them as winners of the Gene T. Aman Pirate Challenge. Three older adults—two men and one woman—stand alongside them, also smiling. The group is dressed in business attire, and the setting appears to be a formal awards or recognition ceremony

The Miller School of Entrepreneurship serves as a regional hub for preparing students to take an entrepreneurial mindset and skillset into their communities.

Established in 2015, it’s the first named school of entrepreneurship in North Carolina made possible by a generous commitment of $5 million by a Raleigh area entrepreneur, J. Fielding Miller, and his wife, Kim Grice Miller.

In addition to its unique entrepreneurship curriculum, the School links with key strategic partners to offer co-curricular programs that help serve as a catalyst for regional transformation.
