Universities' role cited at area tech summit
"Our future absolutely depends on technology-based economic development", said Bill Stephenson, vice president of research at the University of Medicine and Dentistry at a technology summit held by the Monmouth-Ocean Development Council. At a lunch following the summit, the Governor addressed the luncheon attendees noting "The quality of life we offer, the caliber of our schools and the vast transportation network make New Jersey a great place to do business, and we have to keep it that way. We cannot let rampant development ruin our way of life." Asbury Park Press
