The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute at the Samuel Curtis Johnson School of Management celebrated its first Global Entrepreneurship Week at Cornell this week.
Over the course of just 54 hours, Cornell students in this weekend’s 3 Day Startup event built concepts ranging from a software application to improve athletes’ training to an application to turn three iPhones into a three-camera TV studio for multi-angle videos.
Lubna Olayan '77 received the Cornell Entrepreneur of the Year award last week, joining the ranks of such alumni as Jeffrey Hawkins '79, the founder of Palm Computing, and James McLamore '47, co-founder of the Burger King Corporation.
Nearly 2,500 students, educators and business leaders from around the world gathered at Cornell this weekend for the 17th annual Net Impact Conference, “Advancing Sustainable Global Enterprise: Changemakers, Innovators, and Problem Solvers.”
