Press Release
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A best practices workshop aimed at encouraging entrepreneurship across many disciplines is scheduled for Aug. 19 in Indianapolis.
Achieving Multidisciplinary Entrepreneurship will include discussions and brainstorming sessions on initiating entrepreneurship programs that connect universities and campuses around the state and region.
The workshop is part of Purdue's Kauffman Campuses Initiative grant and is being organized by Purdue's Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship.
"Encouraging and supporting entrepreneurship while students are still in school is one of the best investments we can make in our economy," said Kenneth Kahn, professor and the Avrum and Joyce Gray director of the Burton D. Morgan Center.
The workshop will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 19 in Plainfield, Ind., at Chateau Thomas.
There is no fee for the workshop, which is open to college and university representatives. Those interested should register by Aug. 1 (Friday). Contact Kahn at (765) 496-3223, kbkahn@purdue.edu, for more details.
Attendees are responsible for their own travel and hotel costs. Accommodations are available at the Staybridge Suites Indianapolis Airport, adjacent to Chateau Thomas. To make room reservations, call (317) 839-2700.
The Burton D. Morgan Center is leading Purdue's Kauffman Campuses Initiative to foster entrepreneurship across departments and disciplines at the university's statewide campuses through a five-year, $1.5 million grant from the Kansas City, Mo.-based Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
A private, nonpartisan organization, the Kauffman Foundation works with partners to advance entrepreneurship and improve the education of the nation's youth. The late entrepreneur and philanthropist Ewing Marion Kauffman established the foundation in the mid-1960s.
The Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship provides a platform to launch technology-based enterprises based on Purdue research and helps faculty, students and Indiana entrepreneurs better understand how to bring research and technology to market.
