The Edward M. Muldoon Center for
Entrepreneurship
The Muldoon Center for Entrepreneurship was established in the Boler School
of Business in 1999 as an educational, networking, and consulting resource
for entrepreneurs and owners of privately held businesses, particularly
members of the university's Entrepreneurs Association. The center was
funded initially through the generosity of a group of "Founders,"
comprised of Entrepreneurs Association members and companies with whom
they are affiliated. It is permanently endowed through a $1 million gift
from Edward M. Muldoon, Class of 1948, and a matching $1 million from
the Boler Challenge Fund. Mr. Muldoon is the founder of Bivar, Inc., an
electronics components and assembly company in Irvine, California, where
he served thirty-five years as its chief executive.
The Muldoon Center offers networking opportunities and special programs
designed for entrepreneurs and their employees. It facilitates discussions
on issues important to the owners of closely held businesses and offers
consulting opportunities by tapping into knowledgeable and experienced
faculty members in a variety of business related disciplines. The center
helps members of the Entrepreneurs Association identify capable students
and talented alumni to meet the human resource needs of their companies.
