October 7 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Please join us on October 7th at the Renaissance Coliseum for a special celebration on the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Turner Center for Entrepreneurship.
Dear Friends, Alumni, Business Leaders, Entrepreneurs, and Community Partners,
Twenty-five years ago, a vision became a reality through the establishment of the Turner
Center for Entrepreneurship at Bradley University. What began as an investment in
innovation, creativity, and opportunity has grown into an engine for economic development,
business creation, student engagement, and job growth throughout our region.
On Oct. 7 at 4 p.m., we are proud to celebrate a remarkable milestone—the 25th Anniversary
of the Turner Center—and we invite you to join us for this special occasion. The event will
showcase past winners of the Annual Turner Center Small Business Awards, reveal the ten
new 2026 award recipients, and announce the inaugural inductees into the Turner Center
Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame. We hope to see you there!
Bob and Carolyn Turner
