SPIRIT named a Mira award finalist

The SPIRIT program in the College of Technology has been named a finalist in the annual TechPoint Mira Awards. The awards honor Indiana businesses, schools and universities, and individuals for their contributions to Indiana’s technology-related economy.

Surprising Possibilities Imagined and Realized through Information Technology (SPIRIT), coordinated by Alka Harriger, is a finalist in the Education Contribution to Technology – Department/Program/Team category. Gary Bertoline was a member of the Serious Gaming Team that won the Mira award in this category in 2008.

At least five of the 2009 finalists have ties to Purdue. Winners in the 11 categories will be announced during a black tie event May 16 in Indianapolis.
