On July 13, 2015, SOM will open its Chicago office to the public for an evening discussion about transformative public-private partnerships. The event, “Accelerating Discovery, Improving Economic Vitality,” will bring together a panel of experts to discuss strategic collaborations between higher education institutions, local governments, and the private sector. With input from the audience, speakers will examine how these partnerships can further mutually supportive goals such as attracting high-level talent, spurring economic growth, and inviting global interest.
All are invited to attend and join the conversation. Hors d’oeuvres will be served and the venue is wheelchair accessible.

Karen Backus, Co-CEO, U3 Advisors
Caralynn Nowinski, Executive Director, UI Labs
