2009 EMTM Alumni ReunionApproximately 50 alumni attended the 2009 EMTM reunion which was held in the Babbio Center for Technology Management at Stevens Institute of Technology on Tuesday, July 21. The evening provided a wonderful opportunity to catch up with previous class members and engage in social and professional networking. Many of the EMTM classes were represented all the way back to EMTM 1 (Class of 1995). It was also a pleasure to welcome the members of EMTM 16 (Class of 2009) to the alumni ranks which now number over 850 graduates.
The theme for the evening was "How to Succeed as an Entrepreneur" which involved a panel discussion with three successful entrepreneurs, all alumni of the EMTM program... Roger Boyce (EMTM 1) President & CEO of Evident Software, Seth Tropper (EMTM 5), President & CEO of Switch2Health, and Jinsoo Kim (EMTM 9), President & CEO of Image Solutions. Professor Peter Koen who teaches Corporate Entrepreneuring in the EMTM program, was the moderator for the session.
