WSU helps push University Research Corridor past benchmarks

Wayne State is playing a significant role in growing Michigan's University Research Corridor.

Excerpt:

Michigan's University Research Corridor continues to grow in the high-tech areas grounded in the new economy, and Wayne State University is helping lead the way.

URC is made up of the state's three major research universities, including Wayne State, Michigan State University, and the University of Michigan. The idea is to create one of the premier research and development clusters in the U.S. that churn out patents, start-ups, and higher-education graduates.
