The University of Mississippi Technology Summit is an important step to achieving Chancellor Jeffrey S. Vitter’s commitment to expanding the University of Mississippi’s role as a leader in research and STEM education.
University leaders and faculty have a keen interest in strengthening UM’s capacity to address future workforce needs and leveraging the university’s legacy of world-class research to support the growth of the state and region’s tech economy.
U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, who has provided leadership at the national level in advancing scientific research and STEM education, and Vitter have assembled leaders in government, business and academia to discuss future UM technology initiatives. Their valuable expertise and input, along with ongoing conversation and input from all constituencies, will help UM prepare for the challenges of today and the opportunities of tomorrow.
