How Universities Power Economic Growth and Community Partnerships

SIU System President Dan Mahony Season 1 Episode 7

As students come back into the classrooms for the semester, we know the university also has a significant impact on the communities where the universities are located beyond the education of students. In addition to the large economic impact on the state, there are many ways that the university helps support growth in the region.  In this episode of Office Hours with SIU System President Dan Mahony, we hear from Michael Jessup, Jo Ann DiMaggio May, and Dr. Connie Frey-Spurlock as they reveal how SIU helps entrepreneurs launch and grow businesses, builds powerful community partnerships and creates opportunities for students that help shape both careers and communities.
