A Transformational Gift for Entrepreneurial Education at SCU

In Fall 2014, Phil and Peggy Holland provided Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business a unique gift and laid the foundation for a major expansion of the University's efforts to bring economic well-being to communities around the world.

The Hollands, who had founded the free entrepreneurship education website, My Own Business, Inc., transferred the organization to the auspices of Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business, which will create the My Own Business Institute (MOBI) as part of its Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Plans to expand the Hollands' pioneering work include development of the MOBI Fellows, a hands-on learning experience incorporating the principles of entrepreneurship, and an extension of the My Own Business curriculum around the world.
