Spring Board Meeting June 8th includes an event celebrating our first graduating class. With our pilot year behind us, we embark on meeting the challenges and raising the mark set by first year accomplishments. Phase 2 and Phase 3 activities will be addressed and implemented as soon as funding and opportunity mesh. MBI had four interested faculty apply. Attempts were made to match interests and expertise with companies with whom MBI have had contact.
Results are pending.
MBI Center for Entrepreneurship a work in progress and phase 3 activity. MBI is assembling resources and individuals whose total may well be greater than the sum of their parts. With nothing firmly in place at this writing, I comment only that making this happen can indeed change a great number of lives. It was not only an enlightening experience, but an opportunity to see how important our mentor, Gordon Macklin was to the creation of the NASD market. The family of student, Simona Assenova, invited the group to Sunday dinner in March and it was a very successful social gathering.
