As humorously noted by new Morgridge Entrepreneurial Bootcamp (MEB) alumni, Nish Banka (MEB 2024), in his speech at the community dinner, 2024 marks the program’s “millennium class.” Since its inaugural year in 2007, MEB has hosted more than 1,000 postgraduate students, and the extensive potential for entrepreneurial innovation demonstrated by MEB class of 2024 is a testament to the program’s ability to draw in and cultivate some of the brightest minds on campus. Over 50 individuals, organizations and alumni made donations to create a $1.5 million endowment to support the program and thank the Morgridges for all they have done for the University.
