EntrepreNews
Winter 2023
Greetings Alumni and Friends of the Weinert Center,
I hope your 2023 is off to a great start. In this newsletter, you will find stories regarding some of our programs, activities, events, and alumni. A theme that runs across all of these stories is how individuals use their entrepreneurial skills and mindset to solve problems. This can be providing a new or better product to a customer. It can be new approaches to teaching or inspiring students to create their own entrepreneurial journey. Sometimes it can even be a t-shirt to honor a former chancellor and raise money for cancer research. The approaches that entrepreneurs can take to address different issues are both incredibly varied and even more inspiring. I hope you enjoy these stories regarding our amazing students, alumni, and board members.
Thank you for your continued support and the central role that you play in enabling us to serve our students!
Sincerely,
Dan Olszewski
