APLU Announces Four Winners of Inaugural Economic Prosperity University Awards
Honors Recognize Northern Illinois University, The State University of New York, the University of Cincinnati, and the University of Michigan for their Economic Engagement Efforts

The “Overall” category award, which recognizes an institution that is making connections between all of these university-engaged economic development areas, went to the University of Cincinnati for its strategic university/industry simulation and modeling partnership that engages students in experiential learning to directly solve product development and manufacturing process problems. UC also has a commercialization center focused as much on non-technology intellectual property as on scientific discovery and technology development and a non-profit start-up organization focused on trans-disciplinary research and development of products and services for the baby boomer market.
