The FAU Tech Runway family grieves the loss of Arnold Cohen, founding board member and supporter of Tech Runway and its entrepreneurs. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Cohen family.

Arnold Cohen was a well-respected advisory board member who served and supported Tech Runway's programs for several years. Everyone who had the honor of working with him said they were blessed by his intelligence, commitment, humility and warmth. This is huge loss for the entire FAU Tech Runway organization. His vision, commitment and dedication greatly contributed to the success of FAU Tech Runway.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Cohen's chosen organizations, including Tech Runway. Donate here.
