Des Moines Register 02-11-07 Grants target ISU entrepreneurial programs Twenty-six employees of Iowa State University have received grants of up to $5,000 each to create entrepreneurial programs in each of ISU’s seven colleges. The awards totaling nearly $200,000 were created by the ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship with money from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City. Management professor Howard Van Auken will help faculty at each of the colleges create programs that range from an online retail store for artwork in the design college, to efforts to place veterinary medicine interns with innovative animal-health businesses. Another proposal will have foreign-language students learn about entrepreneurship in the countries whose languages they study. Separately, the Kauffman Foundation will provide $40,000 to create a repository of ISU’s entrepreneurship resources and to develop a course on creativity and recognizing business opportunities.
