The Cardinal Lawyer: The economic impact of the University of Louisville

I was privileged to be in the audience for this presentation on the economic impact of the University of Louisville:

University of Louisville President James Ramsey, members of his leadership team and Student Government Association President Rudy Spencer took part in a panel discussion at the Top Investors Series of Greater Louisville Inc. Feb. 26.

They discussed UofL?s strategic plan, its economic development role in Louisville and in Kentucky, and ways that the business community can partner with the university.

?Our focus,? Ramsey said, ?is to create new jobs, take programs into the community and make a difference.?

Members of the panel responded to questions from moderator Bill Goodman, host of KET?s ?Kentucky Tonight? program, and to audience questions that ranged from how the national economic stimulus package will affect research at the university to whether students think the university ?gets it? in terms of student participation in its mission and in community engagement.

?We want to be your partner in making a great community and in making a great commonwealth,? Ramsey said.
