S U M M E R U O F L M A G A Z I N E | 1 3 H A P P E N I N G H E R E UofL MBA team claims 1st place in international business competition University of Louisville entrepreneurial MBA student team Inscope Medical Solutions team members Adam Casson, Maggie Galloway, Mary Nan Mallory and Will Coburn surround entrepreneurship professor Van Clouse (center) after taking the top prize at the Global Venture Labs Investment Competition in Austin, Texas. The team, which is marketing a wireless laryngoscope, will close the NASDAQ stock market in August. In 2011, UofL's MBA team TNG Pharmaceuticals won the same competi- tion, commonly referred to as the Super Bowl of investment competitions. Interim provost looks to build on successes President James Ramsey didn't have to look far for an interim provost to succeed Shirley Willihnganz, who stepped down from that position June 30. (See story page 32.) Ramsey named Neville Pinto, dean of UofL's J.B. Speed School of Engineering, to serve as interim executive vice president and provost beginning July 1. "Dr. Pinto is passionate about teaching students in new ways and developing collaborations between academic units and community partners," Ramsey said, adding that Pinto is "the perfect f t" to f ll the position. "I am honored to be asked to take on this new role," Pinto said. "Under President Ramsey's leadership, I look forward to building on the momentum that Provost Willihnganz has established during her distinguished tenure." Pinto has been dean of Speed and professor of chemical engineering since September 2011. His accomplishments include leading development of the 39-acre Belknap Engineering and Applied Sciences Research Park behind Speed. He led negotiations to bring General Electric's FirstBuild microfactory to UofL, inspired GE to add UofL to the list of schools from which it recruits new engineers and began offering masters level engineering courses at GE's Appliance Park.
