Martin Ganco, the Robert Pricer Chair in Enterprise Development, has recently completed his first year as Academic Director of the Weinert Center for Entrepreneurship. When asked what he enjoyed most about his first year in his new role, Martin cited his team and opportunities to become more involved in the entrepreneurship activities on campus.

“Entrepreneurship skills are increasingly more relevant for employees of large organizations.

As a result, we have revised our communication strategies to connect with diverse students across many subject areas” he explained.
