Upcoming Events
Entrepreneur Leadership Series: Sawyer Hemsley
Panel Discussion/Presentation
Originally from Preston, Idaho, Sawyer Hemsley moved to Logan, Utah in 2012 to attend Utah State University. Sawyer has always loved working with people and came from a family that not only loves cookies, but is known for eating them warm right from the oven every Sunday. Sawyer’s passion for people and cookies led to the beginning of Crumbl Cookies in 2017. A year later he earned his bachelor’s degree at USU in communication studies with minors in marketing and multimedia development. Crumbl started as a family-owned business, co-founded by Sawyer, and his cousin, Jason McGowan, as part of a quest to sell the perfect chocolate chip cookie. The first location was opened in Logan, Utah five years ago, and the business has grown to more than 650 locations throughout the U.S. with more than 10,000 employees.

Entrepreneur Leadership Series: Lola Strong
Panel Discussion/Presentation
As a young woman, Lola dreamed of making a difference in the world. Her progress was completely derailed in 1998 when she was prescribed pain killers, which quickly developed into an all-consuming addiction to heroin. Lola’s downward spiral led to a place where all drug - addicts go - to a series of rehabs, jails, then prisons. In 2008, she was on her way to her fourth prison term, but an empathetic judge gave her the choice to complete two years at Delancey Street rather than serve her five year sentence. The opportunity was life changing. Today, Lola is a cofounder of The Other Side Academy (TOSA), and the managing director of the Denver facility. Most important to Lola is the fulfillment she gains from using her formidable skills and selfless determination to help others change their lives.
