Innovation + Impact
As one of the nation’s leading research institutions, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has been shaping the future since 1867. Our research enterprise drives student experiences and community engagement, powering innovation and positive change locally, nationally, and globally.
Last year, the Grainger College of Engineering was asked to take the lead in developing next steps for the Chicago-based Discovery Partners Institute (DPI) as it transitions from the System to our campus. On Thursday, I joined a Town Hall with recently announced DPI Executive Director and CEO Gene Robinson and Grainger Dean Rashid Bashir.
