President Mary Sue Coleman stresses the need for greater dialogue and collaboration between the University and regional businesses in an address to business people June 9 at Hale Auditorium as part of the forum, "U-M's Role in Economic Development." Coleman showed the recent successes of U-M technology transfer, and that U-M paid more than $100 million to local vendors last year. She solicited suggestions on how to improve the University's contribution to economic development, which she said requires the support of business and community partners. The event was sponsored by Ann Arbor IT Zone and several local technology associations.
