Alum and founder of Doors to Explore Kelley Johnson will be on campus and will host an info session on education technology opportunities. She will also share some of her experiences in encouraging innovation in high-tech, corporate environments – she worked several years as a high-level strategic planner and multidisciplinary, collaborative team builder/manager for NASA and Intel.  She has some great stories to tell about how to get things through what she refers to as the “advanced development stage” – the valley of death in corporate R&D settings (you can have great basic research and even get it into the development stage to where research can be applied in certain settings, but the next phase is where things get stifled – being able to take things to a more advanced development stage to apply research in specific, market-oriented sectors)
