Denise Durenberger, assistant professor of business at Bluffton University, will host a panel discussion on entrepreneurship and business incubation on Friday, April 20. Free and open to the public, the colloquium will begin at 4 p.m. in Stutzman Lecture Hall in Centennial Hall.

Durenberger is also executive director of the Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs (BCE), which partners with the university. During an interactive discussion with the colloquium audience about small business startups and the role of business incubators such as the BCE, local entrepreneurs will share their startup stories and offer insight for those considering new business ventures.

She holds a master of business administration degree from the University of Findlay.
