The Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame was established in 1998 to formally recognize the significant achievements and contributions of alumni and associates of the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship.
Each year, inductees join an esteemed group of business leaders, educators, and visionaries. From the inaugural class of 1998, through the current class, each brings a new and distinctive attribute.
Past inductees have included CEOs, founders, presidents, and educators encompassing a wide variety of private enterprise, public service, and learning initiatives.
