A prestigious fellowship soon will be used to develop entrepreneurship opportunities for both Iowa State University students and underserved populations in rural Iowa. Linda Niehm, a professor in apparel, events and hospitality management, is the second faculty member named a Dean’s Faculty Fellow, which was made possible by an anonymous gift last year to the College of Human Sciences. As part of the fellowship, Niehm will receive $30,000 a year for two years to extend her work in expanding entrepreneurship among students and helping rural, community-based and family-owned businesses.
