Jay obviously is interested in a legacy that he wants to leave with the University as head of the Regents. And Katharine I think has for a long time tried to get her faculty more engaged in the real work of Wisconsin. Part of which is our economic development. And ironically, our board of directors in planning session we had last year sort of directed me and the staff to come up with some kind of an economic summit. And what they wanted us to do was commission a white paper on what's going on in the Wisconsin economy, and then pose the question to academics and government leaders and business people are our economic development strategies aligned with the reality.
Timing is everything.
Timing was perfect. And the university I think stepped up to the plate and really is trying to reinvigorate the Wisconsin Idea as it pertains to economic development. It's something that my members have been clamoring for, for a long, long time. Because they feel there's enormous benefit from the research that's being done at the universities all over the state. The question is how do we get some of that technology out into the real economy.
