UCF’s Dr. Tom O’Neal to Teach Entrepreneurs at Princess Sumaya University in Jordan, May Form Partnership with UCF
ORLANDO, Fla., -- Dr. Tom O’Neal, founder and executive director of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program, and one of the nation’s leading experts on university-based business incubation, job creation and local economic development, will travel to Jordan in the fall to teach a class on entrepreneurism at Princess Sumaya University for Technology in Jordan.
Dr. O’Neal, president of the Florida Business Incubation Assn. (FBIA), executive director of the Florida Economic Gardening Institute and associate vice president for research and commercialization at UCF, recently visited Princess Sumaya University to tour the technology center’s incubation facilities and talk with students and faculty about ways to commercialize technology innovations and create a culture of entrepreneurship.
“Like many countries, Jordan is trying to jump-start their economy and provide opportunities for bright young innovators,” Dr. O’Neal said. “They are looking at ways to commercialize their technology,” he said.
University officials are looking at ways to promote entrepreneurship in a country that traditionally lags behind places like the U.S. in terms of a robust entrepreneurial culture, he explained.
Dr. O’Neal said officials at Princess Sumaya University are interested in forming a partnership with the University of Central Florida.
“They have an incubator,” Dr. O’Neal said. “The infrastructure in Jordan is quite different from what we have here in the U.S., and they would like to develop a soft landing program with us so that some of their companies can come here to start developing markets in North America,” he said.
Dr. O’Neal is already pioneering a soft landing program at the UCF Business Incubator in Kissimmee, providing easier access to international companies who want to enter U.S. markets.
Dr. O’Neal plans to return to Princess Sumaya University in September to teach the class in entrepreneurism. He said he hopes to formalize a soft landing program with Princess Sumaya University here in Central Florida before the end of the year.

Stonegate Golf Club at Solivita Offers Summer Special: Round of Golf plus Lunch for $39.95
KISSIMMEE, Fla. --- Stonegate Golf Club at Solivita in Kissimmee is offering a whale of a deal for summer golfers: a round of golf on either of two championship courses plus lunch at The Grille at Stonegate, all for just $39.95.
Christopher Russell, PGA, TPI, head golf professional at Stonegate Golf Club at Solivita, said both courses are in fine shape for summer play.
Designer Ron Garl laid out The Oaks at Stonegate golf course at over 7,000 yards from the back tees for big hitters, and ingeniously mapped out three more forgiving sets of tees. With water on eight holes and free-forming collars around the greens, there's a definite emphasis on the short game at The Oaks.
At The Cypress, redesigned by Clifton, Ezell & Clifton, gently rolling fairways are flanked by century-old cypress trees. The greens have been expanded to feature undulations that accommodate a faster roll. Some greens have been bulk-headed for a truly spectacular visual affect. Cart paths now run the length of the course, tee to green, and water comes into play on 13 holes.
“I think we offer the best golf play in Central Florida and the Stonegate Grille is worth the price of admission all by itself,” Russell said.
