Johnetta Hardy to make UB’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation the ‘go-to place for students with ideas’

As the director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Baltimore, Johnetta Hardy‘s goal is easy to outline: make the center “the go-to place for students with ideas,” as she told BmoreMedia.

Hardy, who began her tenure as director in August, has already begun some of that work, as Bmore News reports:

She’s enlarging the center’s entrepreneur-in-residence program, recruiting 15 to 20 people in the business and banking, marketing social media and venture capital communities who can coach students. … By winter, UB will hold weekly lunchtime counseling sessions and monthly brainstorming meetings for students, faculty and  alumni.

In addition, Hardy also worked to make the University of Baltimore one of the tour stops of the Pitch Across Maryland bus.
