 Morningside receives $5,000 grant for Entrepreneurship Education Center     

The Siouxland Economic Development Corporation has awarded Morningside College a $5,000 grant to help fund a renovation project that will create a new area for the college’s Entrepreneurship Education Center.

The Morningside College Business Administration and Economics Department will use the grant to eventually relocate its entrepreneurship center into a larger space inside the college’s Lincoln Center.

According to Pam Mickelson, business professor at Morningside and director of the Entrepreneurship Education Center, the new, renovated area is planned to provide space for meetings, research and planning and a seminar classroom. 

The Entrepreneurship Education Center at Morningside supports student involvement in starting a business, attending business conferences and participating in fundraisers and charity events.
