Three Universities Win USU Innovation Pitch Challenge

University of Louisville, University of Houston and Cleveland State University won the USU Innovation Challenge Pitch session at the 127th APLU Annual Meeting underway in  Orlando, Florida. Each university received $10,000 to support their economic engagement efforts on their campuses.

Sponsored by the Lumina Foundation, the pitch competition was conceived as a way to address one of the biggest challenges facing both higher education and the economy to address the seeming lack of alignment between what a student learns and what employers need. University representatives pitched innovations on ways to strengthen the university-employer/labor market relationships to a panel of judges. And those ranked highest received the seed money to prototype the idea, explore feasibility, scale the idea or launch it.
