University of Illinois students have the unique opportunity to participate in the merging of science and research with industry through internships at UI Research Park.  In two areas of our department:  Consumer Economics/Financial Planning as well as Agribusiness, ACE students get involved as interns working for companies such as State Farm in researching use of insurance and financial products by their organization.  A new venture in agribusiness, led by ACE alum Lucas Frye, is making strides bringing a San Francisco business to the Midwest.

All showcase the idea of cutting edge research that students get a first row seat to, even get to make it happen.  What a resume builder.  This is what makes Illinois different, and unique, and a great opportunity for students willing to take the challenge!
