The Musser Series is named after Pete Musser, a friend of the Temple University Fox School of Business. This endowed professorship is filled by experienced, well-known practitioners in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship. Visiting professors give lectures and work with students both one-on-one and in small groups to provide critical and immediate feedback to students and their ventures on a range of topics from opportunity recognition, crafting a value proposition, creating a feasible business model, developing a customer acquisition strategy or designing a funding plan. In addition, they share the lessons they learned in the trenches in an intimate setting with highly engaged students and alumni, and with student associations and in entrepreneurship classes across the university.
