Congratulations to the winners of the Millikin First-Year Business Plan Competition - Next Level Nutrition received 1st place, and Thread N Turn received 2nd place!!

Your hard work, creativity, and dedication truly showed. We’re so proud of all the teams who presented and grateful to the judges, professors, and mentors for making this event possible!

We were thrilled to welcome Dr. Preeti Chalsani, Chief Quantum Officer for the IEDC, to the Millikin-Decatur Executive Association (MDEA) breakfast! Her presentation on the Quantum Revolution and Why Illinois.

To hear of all the investment and intentional discussions throughout the state to position Illinois as the global leader in Quantum innovation and commercialization was particularly meaningful for our community. Keep an eye out for the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago’s South Side.
