Live-Work-Maker Space at the University of Utah

About 1,500 applicants for just 400 spaces.

 

From 100 entrepreneurial teams to 500 in the short lifetime of the program.

 

What’s so amazing about the Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute that everyone’s clamoring to be a part? The maker space, of course.

 

On a recent episode of Enrollment Growth University, I got to talk to Troy D'Ambrosio, Assistant Dean of the David Eccles School of Business and Executive Director of the Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute at the University of Utah, about how Lassonde grew to support student entrepreneurs.

 

“We've exceeded every expectation we have for the building, for both the residential experience in how students engage with each other and the variety of people we've been able to attract,” Troy said.
