About this Event
The Office of Possibilities is Northern Michigan's go-to gathering for entrepreneurs, organizers, and artists looking for peer-support and connectivity.
This week, we're pleased to welcome the following friends from Grand Valley State Univeristy's School of Enginering:
- Bayo Ogundipe, Dean, GVSU College of Engineering
- Tim Born, Associate Dean for Student Affairs, College of Engineering
- Lindsay Corneal, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, College of Engineering
We'll still observe our regular meeting format. (Even college deans get the same amount of time to share as everyone else...)
After our usual intros, the GVSU crew will lead a listening session on the engineering challenged face by Northern Michgian's early-stage ventures. And we'll discuss how GVSU can support our local entrepnruers and changemakers!

OOPs isn't "business networking" as usual; we have real conversations about the challenges of entrepreneurship, what we can do to lift one another up in hard times, and celebrate each-other's wins.
We meet every single week (lousy weather, holidays, etc.). We welcome everyone to join when they need, and hop out as their work demands.
Do not bring your business plan. Do not wear a suit. Just come as you are. We're excited to have you!
NO RSVP REQUIRED. Just come when and as you are!
Grove Community Incubator is greatful for the support of our friends at the Michgian SBDC, West Shore Bank, Common Good Bakery, and Higher Grounds Trading Co. in helping host this amazing gathering each week. And thank you to all the incredible OOPsers who show up week in and week out to make this gathering possible!
