BELL Bash is the BELL's annual kickoff celebration and open house. Join us before classes begin to tour our new space, meet the entrepreneurial community, enjoy free food, games, prizes, and music, and discover how you can get involved in BELL programs, competitions, and events throughout the year. This is open to all University of Iowa students; no business idea is required!

Founders Reception is the culminating celebration of BELL Week, where students accepted into the Startup Incubator are officially welcomed into the Founders Room. The reception recognizes the newest cohort of founders while bringing together students, mentors, alumni, faculty, and industry partners to celebrate the beginning of each venture's entrepreneurial journey.

The Tippie College of Business is proud to announce Nick Hentges (BBA81) as the 2026 Tippie Alum of the Year and JD Klopfenstein (BBA18) as the 2026 Tippie Young Alum of the Year. Join us as we celebrate this year’s Honorees at the Old Capitol Museum in Iowa City.
