Gov. Nixon to attend opening of University's  Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship

   Gov. Jay Nixon will speak at dedication ceremonies for Northwest's new Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which will now take place at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept 9.
   Lawmakers, university officials, center tenants and economic development advocates are also expected to attend.
   Originally scheduled for Sept. 11, the date of the ceremony has been changed in order to accommodate the governor's schedule.
   The 46,679-square-foot center has two synergistic components: a mixed-use technology business incubator and an academic facility.
  While the incubator is designed to house several start-up companies, the academic facility has been programmed to house Northwest’s new nanotechnology baccalaureate degree program, which began courses this fall.
   “Northwest has the only non-engineering-based nanoscience degree program in the state and in the region,” said Dr. Charles McAdams, dean of Northwest’s College of Arts and Sciences. “The academic portion of the center means that students can come to Northwest, major in nanoscale science, have hands-on experience with companies in the CIE and be prepared for either graduate school or careers in commercial laboratories.”
   A new on-site center tenant will be introduced during the dedication. Life sciences and health-care consultant Riley and Rabel Consulting Services, LLC, (www.rileyandrabel.com) joins Carbolytic Materials Company (www.carbolytic.com) and Practical Sustainability (www.practicalsustainability.com) as the center’s newest private-sector occupant.
