Masters were responsible for the development of Entrepreneurs’ House; a wing in one of the University residence halls that was set aside for incoming freshmen, regardless of college or major, who are interested in entrepreneurship. A lounge, with key access, was designed for these students by a firm owned by an Association member. The residents in Entrepreneurs’ House are taken to dinner twice a year by Masters who discuss their business and their path to success.

The Muldoon Center for Entrepreneurship is the University’s umbrella organization for entrepreneurship. Masters are currently developing the strategy for the Muldoon Center. Included in this initiative will be additional Muldoon Center programs and activities as approved by the University.

Each year, Masters run the Muldoon Center for Entrepreneurship Awards Dinner. The Muldoon Center honors two individuals each year with the following awards:

• The Edward M. Muldoon Award for Civic Entrepreneurship recognizes leaders who have distinguished themselves by their leadership position in the community through volunteer, philanthropic, and other actions of significant benefit to the Greater Cleveland community.
• The John J. Kahl, Sr. Award for Creative Leadership recognizes individuals who have distinguished themselves by the sustained application of creative leadership to their businesses or organizations over a substantial period, resulting in above-average growth and improvement.
