  • july 2002 news Head Hunting High-Tech Industry WCU, UNCC, Clemson form "Micro-Optics Triangle" By: Chad Messer I WCnewsmagazine WCU, Clemson and UNCC are banding together to form a Micro- Optics Triangle, whose purpose is to attract high-tech industries that are generally always found in Research Triangle Park and Silicon Valley, and to help prepare graduating students for careers with such companies. Started with a $15 million pledge in federal funds by Congressman Charles Taylor, the Carolinas Triangle will focus on micro-optics such as fiber optics. The partnership began when the three universities began working with local groups to explore ways to replace jobs that have been lost in western North Carolina and the Upstate in the textiles, furniture and tobacco industries. They think that photonics may be one part of the answer. Photonics, often referred to as electronics at the speed of light, is a $170 billion industry that is the backbone of the current information technology infrastructure. The Carolinas Micro-Optics Triangle, started with a pledge of $15 million in federal funds by Western's friend Congressman Charles Taylor, will focus on micro-optics such as fiber optics. Chancellor Bardo called the agreement a golden opportunity to save the region from being the "hole in the economic doughnut. " As part of the agreement between the schools, Clemson will conduct research on new photonice materials, UNCC will construct models for optical components and provide proof-of-design molds, and WCU's Center for Integrated Technologies will assemble the units. news By: Chad Messer I WCnewsmagazine wc newsmagazin s udent headlin PRESIDENT OF LMP WINS SCHOLARSHIP Allen Taylor, president of LMP, recently won one of three regional scholarships from the Association of College Unions International (ACUI).
