Israels has formed the Center for Emerging Enterprises, under which 32 students from Grand Valley State University, Aquinas College, Cornerstone University, Siedman College of Business and Kuyper College will help in the creation of 12 sitcoms by the end of 2010. Seven teams of students will contribute to business and creative ends of the production.
