What's Happening in MCN

Students participating with 1871

1871 is a Chicago-based business incubator with a focus on technology. As a result of Illinois State University’s involvement with the Illinois Innovation Network, faculty and students are now able to take advantage of 1871’s programs and services. Over the past year, several members of the campus community have done just that.Ìý
