The gift will pave the way for thousands of MSU students to hone their entrepreneurial skills.

Jabs, well-known in Colorado for his philanthropy, has come to view gifts to education as an important way to make a difference.

“I thought, ‘Well, where does the money that I give do the most good?’ I got to thinking that maybe if I gave to education, and helped education, that my money would go further,” Jabs said. “I think I can do more good by giving to something like MSU.”

Jabs hopes his gift will provide opportunities for students to receive a strong education so that they can compete well in a global marketplace.

“I think the entrepreneurship center opens doors. It makes students feel like there are other opportunities out there where they could be an entrepreneur, also.”
