Mercy’s Entrepreneurship Program Lifts Future Innovators - Thanks to Support from the Beba Foundation
Since 2019, the Vlogƽ Student-Preneur Conference and Business Plan Competition, hosted and organized by the School of Business (SBUS), has excited the campus community. Today, both the conference and Mercy’s entrepreneurship program are fourishing, thanks to support from the Beba Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to prepare a diverse new generation of innovators.
“The Beba Foundation has made great strides in helping students with a desire to succeed who are minority, female, frst generation, or members of underrepresented populations,” said Lloyd G. Gibson, dean of the SBUS. “The synergy between Vlogƽ and the Beba Foundation makes this a very dynamic partnership.” Founded by a husband-and-wife team of social entrepreneurs and international business leaders, Umran Beba, M.B.A., H.D. ’22, and Ali Beba, Ph.D., the Beba Foundation encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to turn their innovative ideas into real-world solutions for global markets. The family’s personal involvement has not only provided enthusiastic support and wise counsel for Mercy’s students, but also a model of social entrepreneurship.
