There has been quite a lot of discussion in the blogosphere around the Lion Launch Pad and the Blue Line recently. Much of it appears to have been driven by a recent article in the Centre Daily Times. As of February 8, 2008, Dave Barton requested that the offices at 234 E. College Ave., Suite 2342 no longer be affiliated with the Lion Launch Pad. Dave wanted to realign the focus of the space, which he was providing. It appears that this space will be renamed The Blue Line and Dave will continue his strong support of Penn State and Centre County entrepreneurs. We certainly wish him all of the best and look forward to continuing to work together on initiatives in the future.

Dave is a strong supporter of making Penn State and the Centre Region more entrepreneurial. His help in 2007 was key in getting the Lion Launch Pad started, and he should be recognized for his significant financial support and time commitment to the Lion Launch Pad.

The Lion Launch Pad has initiated a search for alternative space and we are currently exploring our options. Additionally, Liz Kisenwether and Robert Macy have begun open mentoring sessions on-campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are also in the process of launching a new web site.

If you are interested in the mentoring sessions, please contact Liz or Robert for an appointment during the following time blocks:
Liz - Kunkle Lounge Tuesdays 1:30-3:30 p.m.
Robert - 429 Business Building Thursdays 1:30-3:30

We certainly appreciate the strong interest in entrepreneurial programs related to Penn State and look forward to continuing to support aspiring entrepreneurs.
