Emeritus professor 林恩·霍夫曼博士.D., makes planned gift supporting the Center for Entrepreneurship.

林恩·霍夫曼博士.D., emeritus professor of management at 密歇根州立大学丹佛, wants Roadrunners to have the resources they need to make their entrepreneurial dreams come true.

To keep the spirit of enterprise alive, Hoffman – who helped found the Center for Entrepreneurship and programs like Launch 丹佛 – and his wife, alumna Karen Hoffman, have committed to making a planned gift ensuring those programs have future funding.

“When I started the Center, had Ann (Murphy) and Deb (Gilliard) not been supportive, we would not have been successful,他说. “我很幸运。.”

Thanks to dedicated faculty members, the programs Hoffman created have persisted and flourished. As the Center grows, he hopes to see more successful entrepreneurship majors start businesses, contributing to job creation and the economy.

“New ideas come from small businesses, and innovation starts in someone’s garage,” said Hoffman. “I want to make sure the Center survives – that it continues to serve 密歇根州立大学丹佛 students and the community.”

“Participating in Launch 丹佛 was a blessing. The phenomenal resources helped me improve my business pitch, giving me confidence and stability. 感谢博士. Hoffman for establishing this amazing community program!”
