Al Osborne, senior associate dean of UCLA Anderson, professor
of Global Economics & Management and founder and faculty director of the
Harold Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, was a featured speaker at this
year’s National Conference on Business Development in Underserved Communities. The
program, hosted by the Foster Business and Economic Development Center at the
University of Washington, seeks to help business schools engage
“their students with businesses in low- and moderate-income communities and
their faculty with minority- and women-owned businesses.”
The event focuses on opportunities for
faculty and staff who run programs and/or centers focused on helping
underserved communities to network and learn from likeminded colleagues.
Specifically, the conference hopes to facilitate sharing of “best practices in
curriculum design, student evaluation and small business impact,” as well as
identifying research opportunities and possible avenues for executive
education.
