\"Check<\/a>The University of Michigan has announced<\/a> a $60 million gift from the Zell Family Foundation, to support the Samuel Zell and Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business.<\/p>\n

The funds will support entrepreneurship programs for students, including a $10 million fund for student business ventures.<\/p>\n
