Luke Harmon, a 2010 business administration graduate from Point Loma Nazarene University, was named the 2011 Entrepreneur of the Year by the university’s Fermanian School of Business (FSB). Harmon was one of five finalists in the FSB’s Entrepreneur Enrichment Program (EEP). Harmon’s project, EHipp, is to develop medical records software for overlooked sectors of the healthcare industry. “Thank you so much for providing a platform for me to work on this project,” said Harmon. “This experience has been incredibly challenging but at the same time amazing, and I have loved every second of it.” Following a nearly yearlong process that began with the annual EEP Exposition and “pitch” in September, five student entrepreneurial ventures received mentoring throughout the 2010-11 academic year while developing a detailed business plan. There were three experienced entrepreneurial mentors for each venture from a wide variety of business interests throughout the Western U.S. The mentors also served as judges for the plans. The plans were completed and submitted by April 15. The judges then had two weeks to review the plans on a secure online site. The FSB announced Harmon’s award at a banquet attended by about 85 entrepreneurs, mentors, students and supporters on April 27. Harmon earned a total of $3,000 in funding from the EEP Endowment toward supporting his entrepreneurial endeavors, and was mentored by Stephen Thesing, Robert Harp and Bart Grunau, all experienced EEP mentors. Other honorees included: • Brothers Derek Jackson, a senior double major at PLNU in business administration and music, and Marcus Jackson, a PLNU business administration alumni from 2007. The brothers were honored for their project, Forte Gigs, a musician promotion and management company for student musicians. • PLNU MBA John Cosby earned $1,500 from the endowment and nabbed the Social Entrepreneur Award of another $200 for his project, www.BorderTraffic.com.
