Center for Innovation Support Services established

The chancellor has established a Center for Innovation Support Services at Saint Mary’s. The Center will help to build support for innovation by functioning as an incubator for new projects and by providing professional consultation services relating to finance, budgeting, grants, marketing, and promotion to individuals with innovative proposals.

The Center is directed by David Ansell, who will focus on the areas of finance and budgeting. Other Center professionals include Diana Miller (grants), and Clay Tenquist (marketing and promotion). Center staff welcome ideas from colleagues in all areas of the university and will provide services at the time of initial development, as well as at the time of implementation. The Center is located on the Winona campus in Heffron Hall, Room 142; the telephone extension is Ext. 1417.
