--SEVEN YEARS OF SUCCESS--
April 16, 2008—Honolulu, HI—Chaminade University will induct its seventh class --30 students --into its Hogan Entrepreneur Program on Wednesday, April 23; from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon, in the Mystical Rose Oratory at Chaminade University, 3140 Waialae Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96816.
Since its inception in 2002, the Hogan Entrepreneur Program has graduated 162 students, including this sixth graduating class of 28. The induction/ graduation event is free and open to the public and this year will have Hawaii’s Lieutenant Governor Duke Aiona, Jr., as its key note speaker.
“Hogan students are nurtured to take on roles of leadership through this unique mentorship program,” said Dr. John Webster, program director. “These energetic entrepreneurs and new student innovators undertake a series of courses with training and guidance from corporate and legislative leaders, civic and community service leaders, as well as successful business entrepreneurs who have started everything from restaurants to high tech companies. Wisdom is shared and relationships are built in ways not normally acceptable to students.”
Designed to prepare Chaminade’s top students for entrepreneurial careers, community service and ethical conduct, the Hogan Program appeals to students looking for an extra challenge. Honor students come from diverse backgrounds with a wide spectrum of dreams to match. >From across the disciplines–art, science, business, communication, psychology and education majors – the Hogan students dream in commonality of being able to express their talents and unique interests as entrepreneurs, fostering their careers with social responsibility.
