"We know most of the entrepreneurs aren't in the business school, they're in other faculties," said Rob Warren, who assumed his new title, I.H. Asper Executive Director for Entrepreneurship on Friday. "Now we'll be able to light those entrepreneurial fires."

[Clark] donated $1 million to the Asper School four years ago and said he will have an ongoing relationship with both the centre and the school, including sitting on the school's advisory board. This weekend, he resumes a role he's had for the past three years as a judge in the U of M's annual business plan competition, which has been renamed the Stuart Clark Venture Challenge.
