Williams, president of the Indiana-based Royer Corporation, was in the audience listening. “It was the last presentation of the day. It was a great day—a lot of good stuff. So I’m kind of leaning back in my chair and Craig starts talking and I hear this ‘student-run business.’ Wow. So I kind of lean up and I start listening to this program that they have put together,” Williams said. “It got my attention like right now. In fact, as he was talking, I start texting Nathan Hadley, who’s our executive director of economic development in our area, who I work with.
