The Lyles Center of Entrepreneurship at Fresno State University sponsored a one-day Professional Study Tour™ on November 30th, 2007 for students in their Entrepreneurship Mentorship Program. The group consisted of 18 students, 3 mentors and the Director of the Lyles Center-Tim Stearns.The theme of the study tour was “Concept to Corporation.” The objective was to meet with large, successful organizations to learn about their trials and tribulations during the start-up to IPO process. During this one-day trip, GEP provided visits to Cypress Semiconductor, Mohr Davidow Ventures (MDV) and Sun Microsystems.

GEP was proud to work with Fresno State to provide their student group with a Professional Study Tour™. The students were an excellent group of knowledgeable and ambitious student entrepreneurs and we were honored to service them.
