Stanley Angelo, Chairman of Westinghouse Lighting, Named Entrepreneur in Residence at Temple’s Fox School of Business
Tuesday, August 25, 2009 (Philadelphia, PA) — Stanley Angelo, Chairman of Westinghouse Lighting, has been named Entrepreneur in Residence at the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute (IEI) of the Fox School of Business, Temple University for the 2009 – 2010 academic year.
Mr. Angelo was selected for his accomplishments in transforming a family owned business into an international supplier of lighting products, as well as his entrepreneurial thinking, innovations and leadership in the lighting industry. Entrepreneur in Residence is the highest recognition of entrepreneurial success given by the IEI each academic year.
Says Moshe Porat, Dean and Laura H. Carnell Professor, Fox School of Business, “We are fortunate to have Stan Angelo as our Entrepreneur in Residence. His vision and accomplishments will be an inspiration to our aspiring and early stage entrepreneurs, especially since he is an alumni of the Fox School and Temple.”
In addition to providing strategic guidance for 2009-2010 applied programs in entrepreneurship, Mr. Angelo will teach workshops and “toolbox sessions” for students and alumni, and provide consulting for a select number of Temple alumni whose ventures are slightly post-revenue and rapidly growing.
“I am very honored to be selected as ‘Entrepreneur in Residence’ of such a great University and business school. My Temple business education was the foundation of my success in the global lighting marketplace, and I expect to share my 45-years of on-the-job training and business experience with outstanding Temple students,” says Mr. Angelo. I always felt that to know and not to do is not to know at all. I hope to excite and inspire students with the practical challenges and adventures that await them, and I’m sure, learn something from them, too.”
“Stan Angelo has all the attributes we seek in the IEI’s Entrepreneur in Residence: he is a highly accomplished entrepreneur, an out of the box thinker, someone who has transformed his/her industry, and a highly personable executive who can relate to and inspire our constituency,” remarks Jaine Lucas, Executive Director of the IEI. We are honored he accepted our invitation, and look forward to a productive year ahead.”
Temple University was ranked #5 in undergraduate and #11 in graduate programs in entrepreneurship by Entrepreneur magazine and the Princeton Review in fall 2008, and was cited as a Top 20 Most Entrepreneurial Campus by Forbes and the Princeton Review.
