The Deshpande Foundation co-hosts the Deshpande Symposium, now in its fourth year. It brings together thought leaders in higher education to discuss and share their learning on emerging strategies and successful practices that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship within the curriculum, in accelerating ideas to commercialization and engaging students on campus in entrepreneurship. Each year over 300 attendees from nearly 100 different colleges, universities and institutions come together to network, share and learn from each other.

To further reinforce the core areas of focus for the symposium, the foundation solicits nominations of organizations that best exemplify practices in several areas:

  • excellence in student engagement in entrepreneurship;
  • exemplary practice in technology commercialization;
  • excellence in curriculum innovation in entrepreneurship;
  • encouragement of individual with outstanding contributions to advancing innovation and entrepreneurship in higher education; and
  • fostering of the Entrepreneurial University—an institution that demonstrates excellence in both student engagement and curriculum innovation

The awards committee believes the Raymond von Dran Innovation and Disruptive Entrepreneurship Accelerator is an outstanding example that represents innovation in curriculum to encourage entrepreneurship and is a great example to its peer organizations and future awardees.
