We’re excited to welcome two new members to the faculty of the Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UT Dallas. As adjunct faculty, Leah Frazier, who also leads our GalXc Accelerator cohorts, and John Adler will be teaching ENTP 3301: Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the undergraduate level. 3301 is often called our “intro to entrepreneurship” course because it students through the process of starting a venture using entrepreneur Steve Blank’s lean startup methodology.
