• Encourage graduating students to remain in Indiana and the Indianapolis area after graduation to fulfill the workforce needs of Citizens and its supporting businesses;

• Create more professional development opportunities for students as emerging talent and future business leaders; and

• Create an improved exchange of industry and collegiate data that will better address research, technology. and industry challenges - ultimately resulting in more valuable, efficient, and sustainable business and community solutions.
