Join us on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 for our first official program! We will hear about FGCU’s brand new Emergent Technologies Institute at the Innovation Hub in Fort Myers along with the general economic development in Southwest Florida. Speakers include Dr. Joseph H. Simmons, Backe Chair for Renewable Energy; Dr. Richard Behr, Dean of Whitaker College of Engineering; and Glen Salyer, Assistant to County Manager/Acting Economic Development Director. We’re planning to host the event at the new Emergent Technologies Institute in which we will be one of the very first groups to get a tour of the facility! ETI consists of indoor classrooms and laboratories and an outdoor Energy Park that is a teaching and research laboratory that displays new solar technologies and serves as a renewable energy park for STEM outreach, solar competitions and more. Please note, if for some reason the facility isn’t ready we have an alternate location available to us.
