White, James W. Walter Distinguished Chair of Entrepreneurship and director of the Lowth Entrepreneurship Center; Margetis, professor of finance; and Pittz, assistant professor of management and entrepreneurship, will report on the growth and progress of our region’s entrepreneurial energy. They will also compare today’s ecosystem to the findings of the original Kauffman Foundation study two years ago.
