Readers of the recent issue of our UIS Alumni magazine
(and regular followers of news on the UIS website) know all about the
"Bacon Brownie," a delicious treat that has been developed by
entrepreneurs and UIS grads Clay Evers and Drew Stevens. The Bacon Brownie is now sold in convenience
stores in Illinois (like the Quick-n-Easy outlets) and hopefully will be
available in many more locations soon. I
took some Bacon Brownies with me to China this past week and presented one to
each president of our partner universities.
This a a photo of me presenting Dr. Liu Yubin, president of Dalian Nationalities University,
with his very own Bacon Brownie. The
message? A UIS Business degree prepares you well for innovation and success!!
The Bacon Brownie was a big hit and I like to think I'm doing my part to
promote this innovative alumni product.
