Thanks to $12.5 million in recent gifts from the Charles and Barbara Close Foundation, Drexel University will establish the Charles D. Close School of Entrepreneurship that will be one of a very small number of freestanding schools of entrepreneurship in the nation and the only one in Philadelphia. Building on an outstanding foundation of curriculum, programming and thought leadership at Drexel, the Close School will be the engine driving the expanded culture of entrepreneurship envisioned by the University’s strategic plan.
“With the establishment of the Charles D. Close School of Entrepreneurship, I am confident that Drexel will soon be at the very top of the list of universities creating not just entrepreneurs, but new approaches to encouraging and realizing great ideas,” said Drexel University President John A. Fry. “The chance to launch a new school that will help deepen the culture of innovation at Drexel comes along rarely. I am proud of what the Foundation’s support and confidence have allowed us to achieve.”
