Pennsylvania to Hold Summit to Create Commonwealth's Future

The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, in concert with the Pennsylvania State University, are presenting the inaugural Creating Pennsylvania’s Future: A Higher Education, Economic and Community Development Summit, aimed at energizing institutions of higher education, business leaders, economic development organizations, investors, workforce development agencies, government officials, and community leaders to work collaboratively to create a future for Pennsylvania that leverages the Commonwealth’s college and university assets.

The summit will take place at the Penn Stater Conference Center in University Park on Dec. 5 and 6, 2005.

By generating greater awareness of opportunities and resources, and through learning about the nation’s “best practices,” summit participants will stimulate entrepreneurship, improve the return on investment of technology transfer activities, improve workforce development practices and enhance the quality of life in Pennsylvania’s communities.
