Event Description:
Our annual ciWeek (Celebrate! Innovation Week) gives students and the community opportunities to interact with people (some famous, all inspired) who have dreamed, created, and accomplished. During this thought-provoking and interactive week, students listen, absorb, and engage without the stress of the regular class routine. Generous sponsors make the event free and open to the public.
