Statement on death of Fran Jabara, founder of WSU Center for Entrepreneurship
"Fran played a transformational role in the history of the city and the university.
WSU's Center for Entrepreneurship was Fran's creation. He was one of the inventors of the study of entrepreneurship as an academic field, and thus had a global impact.
Many of the most successful Wichita entrepreneurs have had Fran as a professor, business advisor, investor or mentor.
He will be sorely missed, but his positive impact will continue for generations."
