VISION
THE HINMAN CEOS LIVING-LEARNING PROGRAM Remembering his strong entrepreneurial ambitions as a Clark School student, highly successful entrepreneur Brian Hinman, B.S. ’82, electrical engineering, has made a series of gifts to fund the nation’s first living-learning entrepreneurship program for juniors and seniors, the Hinman CEOs, and to provide a new international component to the program. Through the program, Hinman has inspired hundreds of students to develop new product ideas and launch startup companies.
