An Entrepenurial Education
The University's new Center for Entrepreneurship
is making entrepreneurship
integral to courses and schools across
the University, with the help of a $3.5
million grant from the Ewing Marion
Kauffman Foundation and a further $7
million in matching funds.
The center promotes student exploration
of innovative projects; establishes new
partnerships with alumni, local businesses,
and nonprofit organizations; supports faculty through research grants and bridging
fellowships; and encourages collaboration
among the schools engaged in entrepreneurship
education at the University.
In February 2007, Duncan Moore
was appointed vice provost for entrepreneurship
at the University. As director
of the University's Center for Entrepreneurship,
Moore is charged with the task
of incorporating entrepreneurship into
academic programs and coursework in
each of the University's six schools.
Moore is the Rudolf and Hilda
Kingslake Professor of Optical Engineering,
professor of biomedical engineering,
and professor of business administration.
He has also started two high-tech businesses
and served as associate director for
technology in the White House during
the Clinton Administration.
