The University of Washington Business School announced that Leonard Lavin, founder and chairman emeritus of the Alberto-Culver Company, has donated $2 million to establish the Leonard and Bernice Lavin Entrepreneurial Action Program (LEAP). The goal of LEAP is to produce a new generation of successful entrepreneurs from the UW Business School. Lavin attended the UW. The LEAP program will be administered through the School's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which helps foster student entrepreneurs. Special field trips, lecture series and internships will be a part of LEAP. Twenty-five undergraduate students will be admitted to the program each year beginning in fall of 2008.
