Charles H. Diller Jr. Center receives global entrepreneurship award

On Oct. 17, the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC) presented Shippensburg University’s Charles H. Diller Jr. Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and Innovation with the 2026 GCECE Center of Entrepreneurial Excellence Award (for an institution with enrollment of 7,500 or fewer). The GCEC recognizes entrepreneurship center leaders whose mission is to advance and strengthen educational and experiential opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs.

The GCEC Center of Entrepreneurship Excellence award represents the highest honor that a university entrepreneurship center can receive. Shippensburg University joins a prestigious list of previous winners in this category in the 30 years of the GCEC. In addition, Shippensburg was specifically recognized for the various entrepreneurial opportunities offered to students, alumni, and business owners throughout south central Pennsylvania, offered by the Diller Center.

With the recent opening of Kriner Hall, the new home of the Diller Center, Shippensburg University has been committed to creating a place where students can turn ideas into tangible projects and business ventures. The center’s Mr. and Mrs. Milton K. Morgan III Makerspace supports experimentation, collaboration and prototype development. Students can also present business concepts through Ship Tank, where they present pitches to a panel of university and community members.

Airbnb and American Farmland Trust are launching the Farm to Stay Grant Program through AFT’s Brighter Future Fund. This national grant will support farmers and ranchers creating or expanding farm stays and experiences as an additional income stream. They will distribute approximately 25-30 grants of up to $10,000 each.

Farmers and ranchers are navigating rising costs, volatile markets, and weather-related risks. At the same time, traveler interest in rural destinations and farm stays is growing. Not only will this partnership help farmers and ranchers build an additional income stream; it will also give more people a meaningful connection to working farms and ranches and the families who operate them.

Eligibility and guideline details will be made available before applications open in late November 2026.

On Wednesday, October 28th, Kriner Hall was transformed into a hub of inspiration and festive excitement as it hosted a special, Halloween-themed entrepreneurial event. The evening featured Jake and Jamie, the visionary founders of Endo Tune Up, a prominent business based nearby in Lancaster, PA.

Jake and Jamie took center stage to share their personal stories about what it truly takes to start and scale a business in today's competitive landscape. They spoke candidly about the early days of founding Endo Tune Up, discussing the initial hurdles of turning a spark of an idea into a functional reality. They detailed the pivotal moments that allowed them to scale their operations, offering invaluable insights into strategic decision-making, overcoming operational setbacks, and maintaining resilience through the inevitable ups and downs of the startup world. For the aspiring innovators in the audience, these real-world lessons provided a practical roadmap and a massive dose of motivation.

Of course, the night was not just about business strategy; it was also a celebration of the community and the spooky season. The atmosphere inside the new space was electric, perfectly balancing professional networking with festive fun. Attendees enjoyed a fantastic spread of great food and refreshments while mingling, networking, and discussing the insights shared during the presentation.

We extend a massive thank you to Jake and Jamie for dedicating their time, wisdom, and energy to inspire the next generation of leaders. Most importantly, thank you to everyone who came out to participate, support, and enjoy the night with us. Your incredible energy made this inaugural gathering in our new space an unforgettable success, and we cannot wait to host many more impactful events like this in the future!
