USF, ECU receive APLU "Innovation" Designation
USF and ECU were among 18 universities to be recognized by the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities for their achievements in integrating their research into public and private economic initiatives. Congratulations!
'The designation acknowledges universities working with public and private sector partners in their states and regions to support economic development through a variety of activities, including innovation and entrepreneurship, technology transfer, talent and workforce development, and community development. Each university received the designation after conducting a thorough self-review with outside stakeholder input and subsequently submitting an application that went through a rigorous independent review process.'
“USF has grown into an economic driver for Tampa Bay and the state of Florida,” said Judy Genshaft, president of the USF System. “Economic engagement with our community is essential to our success as a university and we are honored to receive this designation from the APLU.”

ECU just received a $5 million dollar donation to start a school of entrepreneurship. The only one of its kind in the region.

Yes, let's slam that Genshaft for having her priorities mixed up, right? I mean, we need a university the football team can be proud of, not vice-versa, eh?

Well she did invest millions into three branch campuses that ended up going off and becoming seperate universities, so I do have a bit of a beef with her there... but she has done well moving us toward our goal of being in the AAU.
