$3 million donation to help Altman Institute's L.I.F.E. grow
In just four years, Miami University’s L.I.F.E. (Leading the Integration of Faith & Entrepreneurship) initiative has evolved from a back-of-the-napkin idea into an expanding program focused on studying the relationship between faith and entrepreneurship through rigorous academic research, a course taught in the Farmer School of Business, a student organization, and an international research conference.
The initial work has been so impressive that an anonymous donor is providing a $3 million gift to increase L.I.F.E.’s funding, from initial seed money to a substantial endowment approaching $5 million.
