Our symposium theme is INNOVATION, and how that is a driver of success in our endeavors. We'll have very compelling presentations from our own Business and Engineering faculty, as well as some fascinating discussions with visiting faculty from esteemed institutions in China and Mexico. We'll also have a broader-based poster-paper session with many more intriguing examples of research being conducted by our graduate students, and faculty, as well as visiting international faculty.
