With “A Mission to Change the World,” the Howard University ELI Institute hosts the 1st annual Inaugural “Building the Entrepreneurial Dream” Award Dinner on the Howard Campus in the Armour J. Blackburn Center. Partnership included the National Association of Investment Companies (NAIC) and the Marathon Club.

This event proved true to not only the Howard University dedication to developing leadership for America and the global community, but showcases how the ELI Institute continues to strive in providing the skills, tools and orientation for entrepreneurial development.

Focusing on celebrating entrepreneurs across disciplines, awards were presented to Dr. Arvind K. N. Nandedkar for the Faculty Entrepreneurship Champion Award, Mr. Lawrence Ball for the Student Entrepreneurship Award, Bryndan & Rustin Moore for the Alumni Entrepreneur Award, and to Mr. Van Jones for the Eco Entrepreneur Award.

With the success of this 1st event, ELI anticipates making this Dinner an annual tradition. With the implementing efforts to continuously reach out to more entrepreneurs in diverse disciplines globally. You could be next!
