Milestone donation to College of Business will start the Severson Entrepreneuship Academy at Minot State
The Minot State University College of Business recently announced a milestone gift, from an alumnus whose decision to give back to the university and region will help Minot State produce stronger entrepreneurs.
The $1 million donation comes from Clint Severson and his wife Conni Ahart. Severson is chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president of Abaxis, a medical devices company based in northern California. He is the 2007 Forbes Entrepreneur of the Year and a 1973 alumnus of then Minot State College.
"When I look at all the many possible organizations that I would consider worthwhile investments, Minot State University rises to the top," Severson said. "What will come of this investment in the university is a new academy aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and building better business leaders for the present and future needs of Minot and the surrounding region."
