Interns from around the Research Park gathered on Thursday, July 26, 2018 for the Summer Picnic and Intern Awards--an evening of food, games, and awards for the most outstanding interns of the year. It was only fitting that the event fell on National Intern Day to celebrate the hard work and success had by Research Park interns.

Throughout the academic year and summer, interns gained valuable work experience and worked on projects that positively impact their companies. Of the 700+ interns working within the Research Park, less than 30 became finalists for the awards, and only 5 individuals and 1 group were awarded the winning prizes. The winners and finalists were determined from a pool of nominees by a team of Research Park professionals. Here are the honorees:

 

Most Outstanding Undergraduate Intern

Fernanda Contreras, Data Science-Sustainability Intern, Agrible, Inc.

"Fernanda has worked well within our team-based structure, adapting with agility to the sustainability, data science, and code developer teams with which she has worked. Her positive attitude and drive have been an incredible asset. But ultimately, the amount that she has accomplished in her short time at this fast-paced and frenetic company is a true testament to the sort of woman she is."

Finalists: Manuel Hernandez-Estrada, Mobile Developer, Country Financial; Nathaniel Murphy, Natural Language Processing Intern, AbbVie

--

Most Outstanding Graduate Intern

Priscilla Ferronato, UX Design Intern, Gartner

"Priscilla came into the team during a time of uncertainty and chaos. Within a short span of time, she was not only able to strategize the plan for the product but was also able to guide the entire team on the concepts of User-Centered Design, Design Thinking and Methods, user experience, and more. During times when teams were confused, Priscilla would quickly assume a leadership role and provide direction to the team."

Finalists: Dipali Ranjan, Machine Learning Intern, AARP; Karandeep Singh, Programmer Intern, AGCO/GSI

 --

Best Technological Innovation

Shanglong Zhang, Senior Associate Engineer, Caterpillar

"Shanglong took leadership in developing and deploying software. He actively discussed with Caterpillar engineers, visited the Decatur facility, and tested the software with end users. The two projects Shanglong was involved in have big impacts to Caterpillar's business."

--

Most Advanced Marketing and Business Development

Finalists: Muhammad Ali, Nautic-On Project Manager, Brunswick; Neelan Veloo, Market Research--Analyst/Consultant, AbbVie

--

Best Entrepreneurial Leadership in a Startup

Kanyon Edvall, Hardware Engineer, LifeFoundry

"Kanyon is in charge of building a universal robot for automating sections of bio labs from the ground up. This kind of project usually requires a large group of experienced engineers in well-established companies. The fact that Kanyon single-handedly built more than 80% of the control system is very impressive."

Finalists: Perry Lim, Research Intern, Serionix

--

Most Competent and Collaborative Team

Ameren Innovation Intern Team

"The truly impressive aspect of this team is the student element. 6 students of varying academic backgrounds came together, participated in a one-week agile workshop and spring planning session and came out the other end a fully committed and functioning team that you would think had been working together for years. The team trusted the process, followed the steps, and once the work was moving, did not look back."

Finalists: State Farm Econometrics Modeling Team; AbbVie Market Research Team

Statement Regarding the Sale of Research Park Buildings

STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AND UIRP,LLC REGARDING THE SALE OF RESEARCH PARK BUILDINGS

The Research Park at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been successfully developed as a public-private partnership with Fox/Atkins Development LLC since 2001. The Research Park has reached record employment and occupancy rates as a reflection of the vibrant technology community that includes a mix corporate innovation centers, startup companies, and university partnerships. The overall Research Park currently includes 16 buildings, more than 120 companies, and 2,100 employees.

Fox/Atkins has identified a buyer for some of the buildings in the Research Park. The land will remain University property and the overall management remains under the leadership of the University of Illinois Research Park, LLC, whose sole member is the University of Illinois Board of Trustees. The new owner of the buildings will retain Champaign, IL based FDC LLC, the leasing and property management company of Fox/Atkins Development, to provide all the tenant services and leasing for the buildings being acquired.

The leadership of the University and the UIRP,LLC has been very involved in this potential purchase to ensure as much of seamless transition as possible. The overall Research Park operations will remain led by a full-time team of University of Illinois employees that will continue the programming, marketing, company relationships, and planning responsibilities of the Research Park. The purchase does not impact the operations of EnterpriseWorks incubator, the iHotel and Conference Center, and buildings with other private ownership.

The purchase has the opportunity to bring new investment to the Research Park and is a reflection of the positive performance of the overall real estate development. The current development agreement with Fox/Atkins Development remains in place through 2021. The UIRP LLC has not yet provided formal consent for the new buyer, a Chicago-based institutional manager of real estate investment funds, to receive a transfer of the ground lease agreements. The due diligence process is underway. The University of Illinois is enthusiastic to continue the growth of the Research Park as an economic development priority.
