Tufts Legends of Innovation & Entrepreneurship Series - Bill Cummings, Author, Serial Entrepreneur, and Philanthropist

In 2018, the Tufts Entrepreneurship Center created "The Tufts Legends of Innovation & Entrepreneurship Award" to honor and show appreciation to Tufts alumni who best exemplify the spirit, experience, and success of entrepreneurship. This award demonstrates a continuing passion for the unique role that Tufts University plays in the larger ecosystem of research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. 

Join us as we celebrate Bill Cummings, author, serial entrepreneur, and philanthropist, as he receives the 2019 Tufts Legends of Innovation & Entrepreneurship Award. Bill Cummings never aspired to be a billionaire—and never acknowledged he was one until long after it happened. That’s because it is not money that motivates him, but rather the immense enjoyment he gets from building and growing successful businesses. He thrives at being an opportunist and believes that this often-misunderstood trait is one of the key characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.

Bill will be sharing his "lessons learned along the way". Join us for lunch and keynote speech from one of our most successful Tufts alums. Bring all your questions on entrepreneurship! See you there!
