"The Richard J. Testa conference
room is a new, open, fresh engaging space where, for at least the next 5
- 7 years or more we will do our best to carry out our mission: To train
the men and women who will make high tech start up companies successful."
- Ken Morse
Managing Director
MIT Entrepreneurship Center

room dedication. |
This conference room will ensure not only that the philosophies and track
records of a hero of the venture capital industry are well recognized, but
also to invest in the success of future generations of entrepreneurs. This
room will provide a space where entrepreneurs, be they alumni, students,
staff or guests, may meet and discuss programs and intellectual pursuits
of the MIT community. It will serve both as a quiet place to read, mark,
learn, and inwardly digest the lessons of the past and also as a magnet
for interdisciplinary teams of scientists, engineers, and managers to devise
bold plans so that the advanced technologies developed in our powerful laboratories
will make a brilliant transition to the real world, succeed in the cruel
crucible of the marketplace, and achieve global acceptance and dominance.
The MIT Entrepreneurship Center is honored to have a conference room dedicated
to a man who was committed thoroughly to the spirit of entrepreneurship,
and that we may encourage others to follow in Richard J. Testa's footsteps.
On Thursday, 10 April 2003, the great and good came to honor Dick and
help us dedicate the Richard J. Testa Memorial Conference room. |
