The FastForward U innovation hub will be renamed in honor of Pava Marie LaPere, a trailblazer of entrepreneurship both at Johns Hopkins University and in Baltimore who died last year
LaPere, a 2019 Johns Hopkins graduate who played an integral role in helping the university grow supports for student entrepreneurs, was found killed at her apartment building earlier this week
The FastForward U student entrepreneurship program, run through Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures, awarded nearly $170,000 to over a dozen student startups.
