Students Present 2010 Research Project: 'Leading from the
Confluence' Posted: May 2, 2010 During the Spring 2010 semester, CIC2020 students continued to examine the present and prospective role of un  iversities
in fostering the economic, social and environmental change that makes
regions competitive in a global economy. While
exploring the role of
universities and their students in academic
capital formation and marketing of innovation in the knowledge economy,
students in CIC2020's Proseminar for Civic Entrepreneurship analyzed
the regions capacity as a “talent magnet” for the
strategic
attraction/recruitment, hiring and retention of educated young adults.
