Drake University - Drake Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center

John Pappajohn funded the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center in 1996. This center is one of the five Pappajohn Centers in Iowa. Our purpose is to support the Drake College of Business and Public Administration's Mission: “To educate effective business and professional leaders by bringing the world into the classroom and the classroom into the world". We do this by providing a major in Entrepreneurial Management and numerous Entrepreneurship-related activitis including our annual Entrepreneurship Day. We collaborate with the other four Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Centers across Iowa in providing resources and opportunities for entrepreneurs across our great state.
