Fulfilling the mission of Saint Mary’s and meeting the goals of our strategic plan includes building a robust agenda of speakers and experiences to engage our students and community. To that end, the Kabara Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies sponsored the 2013 Entrepreneurship Days April 15-17 on the Winona campus. “The presentations and discussions showed how the principles and concepts of entrepreneurship can be applied across a variety of disciplines and careers,” commented Jim Bedtke, vice president for the College.
Hosted by the Entrepreneurship Club, the three-day event included a diverse lineup of speakers. Mary-Kate Martin, a teacher and social entrepreneur, is founder of the non-profit organization “Hosea’s Heart.” Her presentation was co-sponsored by the Education Club and ASCD. Jeff Van Fossen is founder and CEO of CodaBow, a composite materials company and pioneer of instrumental carbon fiber technology, which markets products nationally and internationally. Todd and Laura Roessler are entrepreneurs in the growing Wisconsin and Minnesota winery industry and they operate the Elmaro Winery. Karla Bloem is director of the Houston Nature Center in Houston, Minn., and the founder of the International Owl Festival. Her presentation was co-sponsored by the Biology Club.
