Thank you!

I just wanted to extend my regards to the faculty, students, administration and industry representatives who participated in the Innovation Expo on Tuesday, 9/23/14, in Edwardsville.  The goal of this type of event is to increase awareness of what's going on at the University, but also to make connections that could result in advancing collaboration in research and commercialization.  We know that many connections were made at the event, and if there is anything we can do to further assist, please let us know!  We will be posting presentations and and more photos in case you missed it, so please stay tuned.

Carpool to the Innovation Expo

Good morning!  I've heard a couple of southern-Illinoisans mention that they are looking for someone to carpool to the Innovation Expo at SIU Edwardsville on next Tuesday, 9/23.  If you check on the registration page, you can see who's registered, and find a carpooler that way.  If you haven't registered and are looking for someone to drive up with, please register, so people can find you.  The event is free and open to the public, and with your registration the event coordinators at SIU will send you parking information so you know exactly where to go.
