University of Washington reaches out to the business community

When Mark Emmert became the University of Washington’s president in 2004, one of his missions was to deepen its relationship with the local business community.

On Monday, the UW sponsored "Ideas to Innovation," its first-ever forum for chief executives from 60 Washington-based companies.

Joined by several faculty members, the executives spent the afternoon listening to one another and the researchers about three key areas: health, the environment and technology. At the end, some participants called the event a success.
