Jacobson Awards

The Joseph H. Lauder Institute of Management and International Studies established the Jacobson Global Venture Awards in 2017 thanks to the generosity of Andrew Jacobson, WG’93, and Lauder alumna Marina Kunis Jacobson, G’93, WG’93. Venture Awards provide Lauder students with resources to focus their energies on their entrepreneurial venture during the summer.

The competition will take place on February 7 from 9am-12pm ET at Lauder.  This year’s alumni judges will be Matthew Addison ’06, Patrice Backer ’93, Sheynna Hakim ‘11, Allan Kwan ’87, Rosanna Ramos-Velitas ’92 and Aniko Szigetvari ’98.  Bart Swanson ’89 also participated as a judge in the preliminary round of this year’s competition.
