The KEEN Industrial Entrepreneurship Forums offer our students a chance to interact with manufacturing and industry entrepreneurs. Sponsored by the Kern Family Foundation's KEEN Industrial Entrepreneurship Initiative grant, each lecture is promoted throughout our campus, broadcast live on our website, and subsequently made available for download. For an optimal viewing experience, we strongly recommend using the Firefox browser, which can be downloaded here.
