In Fiscal Year 2023, an economic impact study found the SIU System’s total impact was about $4 billion and the system’s economic activity helped support over 45,000 jobs in Illinois.
On a recent episode of the Office Hours podcast hosted by SIU System President Dan Mahony, the topic focused on how SIU supports business development and the next generation of entrepreneurs as well as supporting collaborations between faculty and staff and the local communities.
Mahony talks with:
Michael Jessup, director of the Illinois Small Business Development Center at SIU-Carbondale.
Jo Ann Di Maggio May, who leads the SBDC for SIU-Edwardsville.
Connie Frey Spurlock, director of the SIU System Office of Community Engagement.
