É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥

In 2016, É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ welcomed Julien Denaes as one of its Global Entrepreneurs in Residence (GEiR), a program that embeds international, experienced entrepreneurs in the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the campus and the city.

In his year as a GEiR, Denaes, a native of Switzerland, mentored dozens of É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ students across a range of disciplines, developed innovative programming for the burgeoning Innovation & Entrepreneurship Initiative and launched his own company, Alpin.

GEiRs rotate through the program annually—Denaes has already finished his year— but their impact on É«½ä³ÉÈËÖ±²¥â€™s students and community will be long lasting.
