About this event
Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame Dinner
Celebrating bold ideas. Honoring remarkable journeys. Inspiring what comes next.
Every entrepreneurial journey begins with an idea—and the courage to pursue it. Transylvania University’s Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame Dinner celebrates alumni and community partners who have turned that courage into businesses, opportunities and lasting impact.
Join the Center for Entrepreneurship for our inaugural event, Wednesday December 2nd, 2026, in the W.T. Young Campus Center. An evening of connection, inspiration and recognition as we honor the vision, resilience and ingenuity of Transy entrepreneurs. Through five awards—Serial Entrepreneur, Legacy, Lifetime, Emerging, and Community Champion—we will celebrate achievements spanning promising beginnings, enduring leadership and meaningful contributions to our communities.
As the center begins an exciting new chapter at Transylvania, this gathering brings alumni together to reconnect, share their stories and help inspire the next generation. It is a celebration of what our graduates have built—and an invitation to be part of what comes next.
