Description:  The Cornell Entrepreneur Network is Cornell University’s new alumni portal, founded by Rob Ryan, a technology entrepreneur and founder of Ascend Communications.  With limited funding, the site had just been built, but needed a host of new features to accommodate its growing membership, and to promote high-profile networking events around the country.  The new site featured a much more usable design, online event registration and lists, membership management, and a searchable member database.  The site was built using an open source content management system (CMS) thereby allowing non-technical event staff to maintain and grow the site long-term.
