Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s LaunchNET celebrated its 10th anniversary on Thursday and cut the ribbon on its new office suite in the Design Innovation Hub.
The unveiling was of the Burton D. Morgan Foundation Entrepreneurship Suite, which will serve as the new home for the business startup advising program that provides advice, guidance and workspace for fledgling entrepreneurs to develop their ideas and determine their viability.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ President Todd Diacon spoke at the event, which also included a showcase of current and former student entrepreneurs, a gallery exhibit displaying LaunchNET’s impact over the past decade and a reception for guests.
