Beth Cohen Besner is an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at the Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship (HCBE). She primarily teaches courses on the Entrepreneurial Mindset. Besner is a proud graduate from Duke University and the George Washington University Law School. After law school, she practiced bankruptcy law and litigation first in Washington, D.C., and then in Miami. Not only is Besner a professor at HCBE but she was also the Assistant Director of Career Services at the NSU School of Law before starting a family in 1995. Beth had three sons – Ian was born in 1995, Grant in 1997 and Noah in 1999.
Sadly, in 2006 tragedy struck when Besner’s eldest son Ian was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 11. After undergoing four months of treatment, he contracted meningitis and died in May 2006. Besner and her husband, Brad, established the I Care I Cure Childhood Cancer Foundation in Ian’s memory. Since its inception, I Care I Cure has raised more than $3 million for research to find gentler, less toxic cures for childhood cancer. The foundation, now merged with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, is hosting its 14th Annual I Care I Cure 5K Run/Walk and Festival on NSU’s campus on Saturday, March 5 at 9 a.m. The Besners hope that members of her NSU “family” will join her for this event for a worthy cause.
