Grand Opening of the Entrepreneurs' Lounge in Sitterson Hall
On Thursday, November 1, the doors were officially opened to the new Entrepreneurs' Lounge in the Department of Computer Science. The lounge, which is located off the zero level lobby of Sitterson Hall, is a place for budding entrepreneurs to hold business meetings and brainstorming sessions. It features displays representing each of the Computer Science Department spin-off companies as well as some of our largest technology licensing deals.
The brainchild of CS department Associate Chair for Administration, Finance and Entrepreneurship Tim Quigg, the facility is intended for use by students and faculty in computer science as well as colleagues in other departments on campus.
The grand opening event featured remarks by Quigg; Barbara Entwisle, UNC Vice Chancellor for Research; Trude Amick, Associate Director of the UNC Office of Technology Development; and Anish Chandak (Ph.D. 2011), CEO/CTO and co-founder of UNC CS spin-off Impulsonic.
