Dr. Stephanie Raible is an Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at the University of Delaware’s (UD) Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics, with a joint appointment in the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration. Her research examines the everyday, often-overlooked forms of entrepreneurial activity shaped by communities, social purpose, sustainability, and the creative arts. Through this work, she surfaces the lived experiences that dominant entrepreneurial narratives obscure and analyzes how identity, education, intention, and stereotypes influence how individuals make sense of and engage in entrepreneurial life. Dr. Raible is co-author of Social Entrepreneurship: A Practice-Based Approach to Social Innovation, and she has served on several journal editorial boards.

Her commitment to globally engaged, inclusive entrepreneurship education extends beyond UD. Dr. Raible serves as external faculty at Management Center Innsbruck (Austria) and at Escola Superior Artística do Porto (Portugal) through its partnership with Critical Concrete, where she contributes to international learning environments. In June 2026, she served as a Fulbright Specialist with Escuela Superior Politecnica Del Litoral’s (ESPOL) Faculty of Art, Design, and Audiovisual Communication (FADCOM) in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Starting in July 2026, Dr. Raible will serve as the Board Chair of the U.S. Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship, an organization with over 500 members across the world.

At UD, she has served as Faculty Director of the Social Entrepreneurship Initiative, strengthening its nationally recognized curricular and co-curricular programs and expanding global learning opportunities through study abroad initiatives in Thailand and Germany. She also develops student-centered learning materials and cases that portray everyday entrepreneurs as real and relatable, broadening who feels invited and equipped to participate in entrepreneurial activity.

Dr. Raible’s scholarship and educational leadership have been recognized at university, national, and international levels. She is a two-time Fulbright award recipient, a Poets & Quants’ Top 50 Undergraduate Business Professor, and a University of Delaware’s Excellence in Teaching awardee: the institution’s highest teaching honor. Her work has also been recognized by the International Council for Small Business, U.S. Association for Small Business & Entrepreneurship, Deshpande Symposium, Delaware Business Times, and the North American Case Research Association.
