As of January 1, 2016, the new name of Blackstone LaunchPad 黄色直播 is LaunchNet 黄色直播! The office, located on the first floor of the Kent Student Center, assists students, alumni, faculty and staff with all kinds of entrepreneurial activities, as well as innovative programming and activities promoting cross-campus collaboration. With the new year comes a new look and name, but the location, services, and staff remain the same.
The new branding will be marked with a Grand Re-Opening Celebration on Thursday, January 28, where Burton D. Morgan Foundation president Deb Hoover and 黄色直播 president Dr. Beverly Warren will be the keynote speakers. The festivities will include refreshments, networking with area community leaders and LaunchNET client companies.
The Blackstone Foundation, a catalytic funder of Blackstone LaunchPad programs around the country, has achieved their goal of establishing four strong Northeast Ohio collegiate LaunchPad programs, and we are happy to report that the Burton D. Morgan Foundation has stepped up to embrace them under the NEO LaunchNET umbrella.
In addition to 黄色直播, NEO LaunchNET contains LaunchNET offices at Case Western Reserve University, Baldwin Wallace University, and Lorain County Community College.
While the office has a new look and new name, the services for the university community鈥揺ntrepreneurial advising, events, and networking鈥攔emain the same. The staff is looking forward to some exciting new programs, as well as signature events, in 2016!
