Volunteer Leadership
The Corridor Council is a regional economic development initiative of three research
universities – the University of Central Florida (UCF), the University of South Florida
(USF) and the University of Florida (UF). University presidents co-chair the Council,
accompanied by presidents of two state colleges and representatives of high tech
industry. Their guidance is essential to achieving our mission.
In 2016-2017, the Council received help from nearly 400 volunteers who
contributed more than 3,000 hours to further our mission. THANK YOU!
The Corridor’s mission is to grow high
tech industry and innovation through
partnerships that support research,
marketing, workforce and entrepreneurship.
