BSPS student's group wins President's Buckeye Accelerator award

Hannah Kemper, a second-year BSPS student, was selected as a winner of the President's Buckeye Accelerator program. 

Six student-led ventures were each awarded $50,000 in startup funding at the President’s Buckeye Accelerator Finale on April 3. The showcase marked the culmination of a yearlong program led by The Ohio State University’s Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship, which supports student founders as they develop and grow their startups.

Kemper's student group has created the program MemorEase, an affordable, all-in-one platform designed to alleviate caregiver burden by consolidating essential resources and tools. This enables caregivers to save time and easily access the support they need.

“This is the fourth cohort of the President’s Buckeye Accelerator, and the growth in ambition and quality each year has been incredible to watch,” said Cheryl Turnbull, senior director of the Keenan Center. “Our students are recognizing challenges across both established and emerging industries and creating ventures that reflect their academic strengths and commitment to meaningful impact.”
