NanoInk to nanotechnology open house at CLC

NanoInk Inc., a global specialist in nanotechnology, announced today that students and faculty from College of Lake County and Harper College visited NanoInk's headquarters to learn more about the company's nanotechnology-based businesses and meet with employees.

During their visit, students listened to NanoInk CEO James Hussey speak about the growing need for nano-savvy employees and learned about the benefits that NanoInk's different commercial divisions hold for society. Following presentations, the students toured the Nano BioDiscovery and NanoProfessor Nanoscience Education Labs.

“My students were fascinated to see firsthand the various ways NanoInk is impacting our world today and into the future. The exposure to several commercially viable nano-based businesses provided them with additional motivation to continue on their nanotech educational path,” Ahmad Audi, chair of the nanoscience technology program at College of Lake County, said in a statement. “NanoInk understands the impact nanotechnology can have on our future, and perhaps more importantly, they also recognize that now is the time to provide hands-on training that prepares students to meet the growing demand for a nano-savvy work force.”

Dean Hart, executive vice president of NanoInk said in a statement: “We are also pleased that we were able to provide students with a chance to engage with NanoInk employees and discuss the ample career possibilities within the evolving field of nanotechnology. Along with our NanoProfessor Nanoscience Education Program, we see this outreach as another way we can support President Obama's ‘Educate to Innovate' campaign to improve the performance of America's students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education.”
