Indiana Wesleyan University has been awarded a $500,000 matching grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to develop and implement a new approach to summer internships. The university will provide an additional $500,000 to fund the five-year Enterprise Community Initiative.

The latest initiative is part of an ongoing effort by Lilly Endowment, in partnership with IWU and other Indiana colleges and universities, to address the state’s brain drain. Over the course of the initiative, IWU will identify 10 Indiana Enterprise Communities to partner with in providing a holistic student internship experience. full story
