Hannah Zollman, The Co-Lab at South Orange

The Co-Lab at South Orange is proud to share that Board Chair Hannah Zollman is being honored on Thursday, April 10, by Seton Hall University’s Stillman School of Business for her outstanding partnership and leadership through the university’s Market Research Center.

Last spring, Hannah helped lead a collaboration between The Co-Lab Board and a team of Seton Hall students on a hands-on consulting project focused on supporting small businesses and creative entrepreneurs in downtown South Orange.

The project provided students with real-world experience and brought The Co-Lab valuable insights to better serve its mission of nurturing entrepreneurship, equity, and innovation.

"This group of Seton Hall students was fantastic to work with," said Hannah Zollman, Board Chair of The Co-Lab. "They were professional, communicated clearly, and really dug into the details to provide meaningful insights."

As a nonprofit retail incubator and co-retail marketplace, The Co-Lab plays a vital role in South Orange’s local economy — helping businesses grow, connect, and take root. Hannah’s leadership and dedication have been instrumental in furthering that mission.

“Hannah brings heart, strategy, and deep community commitment to everything she does,” said Nicole Kleinbaum, Manager of The Co-Lab. “We’re thrilled to see her work celebrated and so grateful for her leadership.”

Please join us in congratulating Hannah on this well-deserved recognition and in celebrating the ongoing collaboration between Seton Hall and South Orange’s vibrant small business community.
