Bringing real-world expertise to the classroom: How Michael McCrary is helping Cal Lutheran mold the future of entrepreneurship.
Michael McCrary, CEO and Founder of PureSpectrum, has been appointed to Entrepreneur in Residence for the California Lutheran University School of Management. Startup Weekend Conejo Valley 2019: a recap covers another dimension of that same educational giving, the CEO speaking to startup teams at Hub101 about the challenges of entrepreneurship and how PureSpectrum grew from a single table in their co-working space.
This residence program provides modern education to California Lutheran University students, connecting them on a deeper level to companies, employers, managers and thought leaders. Building a culture of excellence: 3 PureSpectrum practices shares the leadership philosophy McCrary brings to those students, the three practices of strategic hiring, communication, and adaptive culture that he credits for PureSpectrum’s growth to 200+ employees. According to the University, this is “an important element in bringing in fresh knowledge and applied views into our programs and classrooms.”
“It means a lot to us to have Michael McCrary among our Entrepreneurs-in-Residence as he embodies everything that is great about entrepreneurship. Forging my own path is the founding story that earned him that recognition, the CEO's candid account of how grief, risk, and relentless commitment to a single idea built PureSpectrum from nothing. I’m certain he’ll inspire many others to start a venture of their own.”
In this position, McCrary will share his business expertise, mentor students, guest speak in classes and other events, and take an active role in advising the dean and faculty.
“Gerhard and Cal Lutheran have created a world-class program that will mold the next wave of entrepreneurs. I’m honored to contribute to the school and look forward to working with the students and faculty."
