Northeastern has established a new School
of Technological Entrepreneurship (SOTE), the first of its kind.
The school leverages the university's considerable strengths in technology,
entrepreneurship, business, computing, engineering, and biotechnology.

| SOTE will build on
Northeastern's long-standing legacy of producing technological
entrepreneurs. |

"SOTE will train technology people about business
and business people about technology," says interim dean Thomas
P. Cullinane, ME'68. "Our goal is to successfully blend business
creation with technology development."
The school will begin offering an undergraduate
minor in January 2004. Next year, master's degree and graduate certificate
programs will be added. Course topics will include innovation and
entrepreneurship, managing technology, and strategic entrepreneurship.
SOTE will build on Northeastern's long-standing
legacy of producing technological entrepreneurs. Currently, the university
is second only to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the
number of technology-based companies started by alumni.
Gifts to the Leadership Campaign, including more
than $1 million from Jean C. Tempel, H'03, are funding start up expenditures,
endowment, and scholarships for the new school.
