Experts on Campus: Two Pilots Launched

Experts on Campus: Two Pilots Launched

The E-Hub launched two pilot programs as the semester drew to a close. The first was our first-ever Entrepreneurs-in-Residence initiative with Doug Adams, Jim Kelliher and David Mintz who held office hours on-campus, in the Somers Garage during the second half of April 2025. The second included Legal Experts, attorneys from Cooley LLP, who followed a similar pattern following their presentation to the Bentley student community in early April. In spite of the Spring weather, all timeslots were sold out. The E-Hub appreciates this support from our friends and looks forward to structuring the program in the new academic year.
