EEC’s Spring Celebration at John Carroll University

We are thrilled to share a recap of our recent event held on May 15th at John Carroll University. This gathering brought together Member Representatives to engage with the dynamic presentations and celebrate the collaborative achievements within our community.

EEC staff kicked off the event by showcasing our spring programs, highlighting the innovative initiatives that continue to drive our mission forward. Our Entrepreneurs in Residence and students then took the stage to provide exciting updates on their Tech Side Hustle projects, demonstrating the tangible progress and creative solutions they have been developing.
A special highlight of the event was the celebration of the Cleveland Leadership Center's Cleveland Bridge Builders. This dedicated team delivered the results of their Alumni Engagement Research & Strategy project for EEC, providing valuable insights and actionable strategies to strengthen our alumni connections.
Of course, no gathering is complete without delicious food! Attendees enjoyed scrumptious soft pretzels from John Carroll University student entrepreneur Zachariasz Zoladz and his company, Cleveland PretZZel Co., as well as delightful sambusas from John Carroll University graduate Esther Ngemba and her company, Furahi.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of this event. Your participation and enthusiasm are what make our community thrive!
