Innovation Lab Debuts in Library
The Doug and Diane Villhard Innovation Lab opened in Pickler Memorial Library with a celebration ceremony, Aug. 30. This newly renovated space was created to help all members of campus reach their academic goals, explore creative pursuits and work on passion projects. As a campus-wide resource the lab will facilitate collaboration and cross-disciplinary learning. The naming of this lab was funded through a generous six-figure gift from alumni Doug (’94) and Diane (’95) Villhard who have a long history of supporting entrepreneurship and innovation at Truman. For the past eight years they have supported a variety of efforts, including the annual Bulldog B.I.T.E. Pitch competition.
