Cameron Law spent the last 14 months positioning 萨克拉门托 State’s Carlsen Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship as a force in the region.
这项工作为他赢得了12月22日宣布的任命，成为该中心的执行主任，结束了他从2019年10月开始的临时任期。
教务长兼学术事务副校长史蒂夫·佩雷斯（Steve Perez）在全国范围内广泛寻找候选人后宣布了这一消息。
卡梅伦·劳表示，他的部分动机是他对萨克拉门托地区的热爱。 （博彩平台/安德里亚·普莱斯）“While growing the center, Mr. Law has truly modeled what any startup enterprise has to do to succeed: Pivot toward new operations when circumstances change,” Perez said. “He has steered the Carlsen Center in new and exciting directions, with the promise of much more to come.”
Before arriving at 萨克拉门托 State at age 27, Law was executive director of 社会创业伙伴. 他的职责包括战略规划、筹款和建立社区合作伙伴。
A 萨克拉门托 native and graduate of Jesuit High School, Law attended UC Davis on a partial baseball scholarship and earned a bachelor’s degree in Managerial Economics with a minor in American History.
Law earned a master’s degree in Business from the University of Queensland in Australia, with a double major: Social Impact and Sustainability, and International Business.
研究生毕业后，他回到萨克拉门托，在Impact Venture Capital找到了一份工作。 他作为一名社区组织者帮助运营了100万杯，这是一个教育、吸引和激励企业家的项目。
Law brought his experience and professional connections to the Carlsen Center as interim executive director, arriving shortly before the University’s Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) in 2019.
“我的领导理念的核心是合作，从第一天起我就知道，为了让我们成为一个有效的区域中心，我们必须真正的合作，建立桥梁，并与校园内外的合作伙伴讲述我们的故事，”Law说。
“我很自豪地看到我们促进了许多合作，以及他们在为学生和企业家提供成功所需的教育、资源和社区方面发挥的作用。”
On opening day of GEW 2019, Law accepted on behalf of the University a 西部健康优势公司捐赠了一百万美元, which ensures that 囊状态’s GEW will thrive for years to come.
This year, the Global Entrepreneurship Network chose Law to serve as community organizer and “ecosystem builder” for the 萨克拉门托 region’s GEW in November. 卡尔森中心是GEW活动的中心，由于COVID-19大流行，所有活动都在网上举办。
At the close of GEW 2020, Law accepted a gift of 来自加州商业银行的25万美元 to become the name sponsor of the Carlsen Center’s burgeoning mentoring network.
The Carlsen Center was founded in 2017年11月 when Dale Carlsen ’84 (Business 政府), founder of Sleep Train Mattress Centers, and his wife, Katy, gave 萨克拉门托 State $6 million for the interdisciplinary center that bears their name.
The Carlsen Center is housed at the University 图书馆 and continues to offer virtual programming to encourage and support students — as well as other entrepreneurs in the community — as they pursue their dreams.
"I love the 萨克拉门托 region and am deeply passionate about the role entrepreneurship plays in building economies and solutions to our world’s challenges," Law said. “我看到了萨克拉门托地区如此多的希望，并相信，为了实现我们作为一个地区的潜力，我们必须抓住并利用企业家精神。
"By embracing the entrepreneurial spirit, I believe we will begin to see a foundational shift in the way we build businesses, solve our community’s problems, and engage with our institutions. 企业家精神是任何经济体的支柱，也是我们地区繁荣和公平发展的必要条件。”
