Entrepreneurs are the visionaries who not only innovate but also create jobs, build communities and drive economic growth.

Whether it's through partnerships, mentorship or supporting new ventures, we believe that entrepreneurship has the power to transform industries and make a lasting impact. Let’s use this month to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurs and think about how we can all contribute to building a more supportive ecosystem for growth and innovation. #NationalEntrepreneurshipMonth #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Startups

Today, we celebrate the power of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) and its transformative role in creating inclusive opportunities for all. At the Partnership for Inclusive Innovation, we are committed to ensuring that every individual, regardless of background, has access to the tools and resources needed to thrive in today's rapidly evolving world. From fostering creativity in the arts to empowering the next generation of scientists, engineers and innovators, STEAM is the key to unlocking new possibilities and breaking down barriers. We believe that diversity and inclusion are at the heart of innovation and by embracing the full spectrum of human talent, we can build a future that reflects the richness of our communities. Together, let's continue to champion education, access and opportunity in STEAM fields, ensuring that innovation is driven by a diverse range of voices and perspectives. #NationalSTEAMDay #InclusiveInnovation

The IWH is on the road! On Monday we stopped in Eastman, GA to visit city manager and Georgia Southern alum Dr. Spencer Barron at the City of Eastman to talk about advances in water infrastructure technology, mapping, and a comprehensive strategy to provide residents with safe drinking water. Dr. Barron showcased the expertise of his city employees as they discussed how they transformed city management by mapping resources around Eastman, improving response time, transparency, and accountability. A tour of the wastewater treatment plant illustrated how technological advances made monitoring, assessment, and troubleshooting much easier. We were joined by Katie O'Connor Partnership for Inclusive Innovation, which is supporting a new grant to take the lessons learned in Eastman and apply them to Marion, Alabama. Marion is a small town that has big plans to upgrade the drinking water system and integrate a training program to bring workers into the facility. We met with the team from Marion on Tuesday. #CleanWater #SafeWater #WaterQuality #PublicHealth #partnershipforsafewater #InstituteForWaterandHealth #GeorgiaSouthern #InstituteForWaterAndHealth #georgiasouthernuniversity #safewatertogether Georgia Southern University
