The Robert H. and Beverly A. Deming Center for Entrepreneurship at the CU-Â鶹¹ÙÍø Leeds School of Business has been named one of three national recipients of the NASDAQ Center of Entrepreneurial Excellence Award.
The award was created by NASDAQ in association with the National Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers to recognize the unique achievements and efforts of entrepreneurship centers across the United States.
The selections are made by a panel of previous award winners and professors of entrepreneurship at leading programs in the country. Recipients are chosen based on remarkable advancements in entrepreneurship research, outreach to emerging ventures, entrepreneurship curriculum, community collaborations, special projects and overall prestige and recognition in the entrepreneurship field.
The other two schools recognized by the NASDAQ center were the University of Notre Dame and Texas Christian University. Previous recipients include Babson College, Indiana University, Columbia University and Cornell University.
"Based upon the center's consistent record of hard work and the pioneering efforts by Professor Dale Meyer, the choice to recognize the Deming Center at CU-Â鶹¹ÙÍø as a NASDAQ Center of Entrepreneurial Excellence is certainly well deserved," said Donald Kuratko, director of the National Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers.
"We are proud of the Deming Center's achievement," said Paul Jerde, chair of the Deming Center's Advisory Board. "The center has a terrific track record of building partnerships between CU students and faculty and practitioners who create and operate entrepreneurial companies."
The University of Colorado at Â鶹¹ÙÍø center is a joint program of the Leeds School of Business and the College of Engineering and Applied Science. For more information, visit .
