On June 20, Co-Deans JB Silvers and Andrew Medvedev, along with former Dean and Osborne Professorship Committee Chair Scott Cowen, hosted a special in-person celebration to officially welcome Professor Scot Lowry as the Richard L. Osborne Endowed Professor of Entrepreneurship.
Lowry, who along with Professor Simon Peck, will lead the efforts and launch a robust series of entrepreneurship by acquisition programs and student-focused initiatives beginning this fall. Following the passing of the beloved “Gorilla” in 2016, a group of dedicated alumni came together to honor Richard’s legacy by fundraising over $2 million to support this professorship.
Elizabeth Osborne (Beamer!) joined with members of her family to make remarks as former students of the Gorilla spoke about highlights from their time in his classes.
