Summer 2020

Greetings Alumni and Friends of the Weinert Center,

This summer’s newsletter is very representative of what many of us faced this summer. A combination of the standard summer activities that change little from year to year combined with a set of new ones and dramatic adjustments to our life that we could have hardly imagined just a few months ago. We have some great stories regarding our students and alumni that are starting innovative new ventures, an activity that continues under all environments. We also talk about some of our ongoing offerings such as the Distinguished Entrepreneurs Lunch, the StartUp Learning Community and Morgridge Entrepreneurial Bootcamp (MEB) that continue but have pivoted to new hybrid/virtual delivery models. We also are fortunate to have our Board Member and Alumni Spotlight with individuals who can share their expert perspective regarding the impact on venture capital and consulting.

It is interesting to reflect on how the entrepreneurial skills our students learn may be more valuable than ever as we all face this high level of uncertainty and ever-changing environment. Delivering this impactful learning has required a great deal of creativity in the classroom, the applied projects, and the inspiring speakers. We would not have been able to deliver these high-quality educational experiences without our many supporters and alumni.

Thank you and stay safe!

Dan
