Entrepreneurs Association |

Charles
Geschke, former JCU mathematics instructor and co-founder of
Adobe Systems, returned to his hometown to address the annual
dinner of the Entrepreneurs Association last week (Sep 13).
Introducing Geschke, a St. Ignatius graduate, was John Carroll's
President, Robert Niehoff SJ, who came to JCU from the University
of San Francisco where Geschke chairs the board.
"Chuck Geschke does
not have a degree from John Carroll," Father Niehoff said.
"But perhaps we can fix that." |
