Turner School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Bradley University

Turner School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Bradley University Our mission is to nurture entrepreneurial mindsets & actions through an innovative interdisciplinary approach. Mr.

President Joanne Glasser and the Board of Trustees announced in 2012 the creation of the Robert and Carolyn Turner School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Bradley University is the first university in the U.S. to create a stand-alone school, directly reporting to the Provost, to fully support students who want to be entrepreneurial and cut across different fields of study. Furthermore, Bradley

is only the second university to name an entrepreneurship and innovation school of any type. This indicates the highest level of commitment to provide Bradley students with the finest entrepreneurship education available. Our entrepreneurship program has been ranked in the top 25 nationally for the past two consecutive years by the Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine. The school is endowed and named for Robert and Carolyn Turner, due to their support and generosity in making this a reality. Turner is an outstanding entrepreneur in the financial services industry.
