A $1 million gift from Western Health Advantage (WHA) is expected to allow 萨克拉门托 State’s annual Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) to grow and flourish.
该礼物于11月18日星期一在2019年活动的开幕日公布，该活动现在被称为“全球创业周”，由西方健康优势主办。 世界卫生组织总裁兼首席执行官Garry Maisel， 1980年（工商管理-金融）在卡尔森创新与创业中心举行的仪式上发表了讲话。
“Entrepreneurs are the backbone of innovation and business," said Maisel, also a member of the Carlsen Center's advisory board and longtime University Foundation board member. 商业创造就业机会，就业机会使个人走向富裕，而富裕的个人是健康经济的支柱。
“有工作的人往往更健康、更快乐。”
从今年开始，世界卫生大会捐赠基金将资助GEW活动，如演讲比赛奖金、演讲、接待和学生企业家的交流机会。
GEW将持续到11月22日，白天和晚上都有活动。 大多数活动将在大学图书馆的卡尔森中心举行。
戴尔·卡尔森，84岁（工商管理），睡眠火车床垫中心的创始人，和他的妻子凯蒂，在2017年11月向博彩平台捐赠了600万美元，以创建以他们的名字命名的跨学科中心。
囊状态’s GEW was canceled in 2018年11月, when heavy smoke from the Camp Fire led to a prolonged campus closure. 今年的活动阵容强大：所有七所学院和继续教育学院首次参加并推出了特别项目。
“GEW is representative of every college, demonstrating our interdisciplinary structure,” said Carlsen Center interim Director Cameron Law. “I believe this signals to our region that entrepreneurs aren’t just from one educational vertical or one walk of life, but represent the entirety of our student population.”
劳是萨克拉门托社会创业伙伴公司（SVP）的前执行董事，他于10月17日开始在卡尔森中心工作，目标是将萨克州立大学建设成为创新和创业的区域中心。
“The $1 million commitment by Western Health Advantage signals a significant investment in our region’s entrepreneurial future,” Law said. “This investment will ensure that 萨克拉门托 State, a key talent pipeline for our region, will bring about a new wave of innovators and entrepreneurs.
“Additionally, it will unlock the University’s ability to build the entrepreneurial capacity of our region by elevating Global Entrepreneurship Week and the catalytic role it can serve in a student’s life.”
