The Gloria W. Appel Award for Outstanding Leadership in Entrepreneurship
The Gloria W. Appel Award for Outstanding Leadership in Entrepreneurship is presented upon nomination by the Haas School community to a second year MBA candidate of outstanding caliber who has made an extraordinary and lasting contribution to the entrepreneurship program at Haas. A $5,000 fellowship accompanies the award.
Administered by the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, the award is funded by an endowment from the Louis and Harold Price Foundation in honor of Gloria W. Appel, the late president of the Price Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies and a great benefactor of the Lester Center. The criteria for the award are based on Gloria Appel's passion for students and the refreshing ideas that they have consistently brought to the entrepreneurship program.
Nominations are solicited each spring from the faculty, staff and students of the Haas School.
