Colleagues,

I hope you are doing well as we approach the final weeks of the academic year. It’s amazing to think that we will soon welcome a new batch of graduates into the UIS alumni ranks.

WHAT: Innovate Springfield, the University of Illinois Springfield’s business incubator, will host the New Venture Challenge, a startup pitch competition that will bring together students, entrepreneurs and community members to showcase innovative business ideas, compete for prizes and connect with potential investors. The event is free and open to the public.
