Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti Regional Chamber

ast week I attended a graduation ceremony on campus that may have as much lasting significance for the region as the one coming up next week at Michigan Stadium. President Barack Obama’s visit will garner more media attention and larger crowds, but the future of Michigan’s economy was on display at the TechArb graduation.

Every time I walk across the Diag on the University of Michigan campus, I can’t help but be impressed by the students I meet. They represent a pool of talent that businesses can tap, even before they graduate.
