The 2011 winners of the JNO Awards in Entrepreneurial Studies for the minor in entrepreneurship are Eric Xu, Reed Turchi, Amber Koonce and Safia Davis.

The awards range from $3,000 to $5,000 per year and aim to help students launch their own business venture during their undergraduate years or upon graduation.

The winners will work with faculty and staff to draft business plans, using award money to finance travels, research, internships and the initial business startup.

Eric Xu is a biochemistry major working to commercialize an anticoagulant drug he helped develop.

Reed Turchi is a southern studies major who recently launched Devil Down Records, focusing on North Mississippi Hill Country blues.

Amber Koonce is a public policy analysis and African-American studies double major. She aims to increase positive body image among young Ghanaian girls through her nonprofit startup, BeautyGap.

Safia Davis helped found Storytime Learning, which publishes interactive electronic picture books for children learning to read.
