Center for Entrepreneurship: Leadership Programs
University president, Fr. Bill Beauchamp, has charged Robin Anderson, Dean, Pamplin School of Business and the Franz Chair in Entrepreneurship, to put together an exploratory plan with a committee of leaders from within the university to investigate what it would mean for UP to have an Institute for leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation. As Fr. Bill notes, "We are in the business of developing strong, ethical leaders. I'd like to better understand what an institute like this could bring to advance our students and this community." The creation of the institute was included as part of the recently completed university strategic plan. Dr. Anderson will be reviewing aspirant programs at other institutions as well as looking in-depth at what offerings currently exist at UP within these three categories. It is expected that the planning process will last throughout the current academic year.
