T2U Innovation Series: Syracuse University Webinar

When: Tue, 06/11/2024 - 2:00 PM (Eastern Time)

NASA’s Technology Transfer University (T2U) program gives undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to work with NASA-developed technology.

At Syracuse University, Capstone is a pivotal experience for students in the Whitman School of Management. The course is taught each semester by Whitman Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprise Faculty, who challenges teams of students to create a concept for a new product, service, or business model.  

Since joining the T2U program, Ken Walsleben, Professor of Entrepreneurial Practice, has incorporated NASA technology into the curriculum. Join us for this webinar to learn how Syracuse University is bridging academia and industry innovation.

Ken Walsleben is a Professor of Entrepreneurial Practice at Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management.  He is a member of Whitman’s noted Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises faculty. 

After 30 years working in the financial industry (including the creation and 20-year management of a successful financial services firm), Ken joined the Whitman faculty full-time in 2014.  Since then, he has been chosen by Whitman’s graduating seniors as their Professor of the Year in 2017 and 2019 and most recently for 2024.  Ken has also received Syracuse University’s prestigious Meredith Award for teaching excellence.  He has been chosen by numerous Whitman and University student scholars as their most influential faculty member, and has accompanied them to award banquets at both the school and university level.

Ken remains one of Whitman’s most popular professors and has done so while primarily teaching the school’s demanding Capstone course for graduating seniors.  He has also created and teaches Whitman’s popular Entrepreneurial Turnarounds course for both grad students and undergrads.  Additionally, Ken created and teaches Whitman’s online version of Foundations of Entrepreneurship for grad students.

Ken is a 1983 graduate of Syracuse University.
