The Burton D. Morgan Foundation funds entrepreneurship coursework and regional networking

The Burton D. Morgan Foundation is funding the Creating an Entrepreneurial Classroom. This endeavor will give faculty in non-traditional disciplines start-ups money to introduce entrepreneurial thinking into majors in arts, sciences, social sciences, humanities and health professions.

“Creating an Entrepreneurial Classroom will increase awareness of the many ways an entrepreneurial mindset builds career options for students."
 ~ Joe Fox, Director, The William T. and Rita Fitzgerald Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies.

The School of Law is being funded by the Morgan Foundation for two years to expand the SEED (Small Entrepreneur & Economic Development) Legal Clinic beyond UA to other universities. This initiative offers law student services for business start-ups at low or no cost for legal documents and business organization advice.

“The SEED Legal Clinic is pleased to expand its services to more directly work with various Northeast Ohio university entrepreneurship programs. It is already assisting ten start-ups referred from universities across our region.“
~ Gary W. Spring, Director, SEED Legal Clinic
