Very exciting news for several communities, including ours here in Bloomington-Normal. I have enjoyed working on this with ISU for nearly two years.
This will help us grow and retain talent and build new businesses that will allow our community to thrive.
What a pleasure it is to join with so many partners today at @InnovateSPI as we announce our partnerships with the Illinois Innovation Network. @UofILSystem
Great to see Mayor Chris Koos & members of @BNEDC today to discuss ongoing infrastructure investments in their community and future opportunities to expand economic growth in the Bloomington-Normal region.
Your contribution to the #ISUTFtreadmill will help us to continue competing at the highest level! If 6️⃣ new people make donations, Mike Straza (men’s T&F ‘92) will donate $2,500 to the campaign!
