Friday News – USC Hosts Venture Summit, FSU’s Master’s of Business Analytics Class Graduates, and More
Let’s take a look at some of the biggest stories from this week, including the USC Venture Summit.
Venturing Ahead – USC Marshall Hosts 8th annual Venturing Summit – USC Marshall News
The Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at USC Marshall hosted the 8th annual University Venturing Summit this month.
The event gave Future entrepreneurs from USC’s MBA community the chance to meet with VCs and supporting businesses such as accounting and law firms. USC faculty also took part in the Summit, including Patrick Henry, Assistant Professor of Clinical Entrepreneurship and organizer of the Summit.
“The perception of a lot of university ventures is that they are still in the ‘good idea’ stage…But the reality is that the university venturing world is more market-ready than ever, and university ventures are more ready to launch than ever,” Henry says.
USC MBA alum Jessica Schleder presented her venture, Adoptimize, which allows insurance providers to increase their volume of leads through streamlining the pet adoption process. Other student ventures, including a data security tool, addressed the trends present in the L.A. economy and beyond.
Sponsored by EY, among other private firms, the Summit also hosted student entrepreneurs from UCLA Anderson, UC Irvine, and Cal State University Northridge. Click here for more on the Summit and its participants.
Inaugural Class of Master’s in Business Analytics Students Set to Graduate – FSU College of Business News
Florida State University College of Business’ first Master’s in Business Analytics (MS-BA) class graduated this month from the School of Business.
The program was created in order to meet the demands of an economy increasingly driven by data, and its analysis and application in helping businesses grow. Students in the program combine a strong command of quantitative skills in various backgrounds with a desire to develop their powers of analysis.
One graduate, Jessie Tolbert, started his career as an environmental scientist. Curious about how the data he gathered was used to improve environmental conditions, Tolbert decided to pivot into analytics with the MA-BS degree. “I’ve learned in-demand technical skills and built my professional network with other students, distinguished professors and FSU alumni who are in the industry,” Tolbert says.
The degree comes on the heels of such studies as one by McKinsey, showing a 60 percent gap between the demand for talented analysts and the supply of qualified people in the workforce. For more on Florida State’s MS-BA, read here.

Eric Pedersen (MBA ’01), of the Oak Park Neighborhood Services team, sought to improve the visibility of the community’s housing rehabilitation loan program. “The need was a short, consistent, and readily understandable message, combined with a visually appealing ad campaign … And we needed it in less than 60 days with a very modest budget.”
The loan program assists those in need—the recently unemployed, people with disabilities, seniors, and single parents—obtain interest free loans to make necessary home improvements.
Quinlan Professor of Marketing Katie Hession’s class was able to work under the tight deadline and budget to create the program’s ad campaign. Using the tagline of “Brick by Brick, Chip by Chip, Panel by Panel, and Picket by Picket,” the ad package contains visually striking images and bold messages regarding the program. For more on the ads and Oak Park’s community improvement efforts, read here.

Wharton’s Adam Grant on Selflessness, Creativity, and Resilience
Adam Grant is no stranger to revolutionary ideas. In fact, some consider he is somewhat of a revolutionary. As Wharton’s youngest ever tenured academic professor (he received his at the ripe old age of 28), Grant has evolved to become one of the country’s leading thinkers in management and organizational psychology.
He is also, as his New York Times byline states, “a former advertising director, magician and junior Olympic springboard diver.”
After receiving a B.A. from Harvard and a Master’s and Ph. D. from University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, he accepted an invitation from UNC Chapel Hill as an Assistant Professor. Grant’s academic papers received wide attention, propelling him to an associate professorship in 2009 and his later tenured professorship at Wharton.
