AIT Labs Named 2009 Access Award Winner
5/13/2009 (Kelley Indianapolis)
AIT Laboratories has been named the 2009 recipient of the Access Award for its continued support of programs at the IU Kelley School of Business Indianapolis.
The Access Award was created nine years ago in response to a growing number of Indiana graduates choosing to pursue careers out of state. The award is given to a company or organization that partners with and provides creative learning opportunities for Kelley students.
AIT Laboratories is headquartered in Indianapolis and employs more than 300 people, including several Kelley Indianapolis graduates. It is considered one of the top toxicology labs in the country providing medical analysis to the healthcare industry. It recently was named Small Business of the Year and one of the Best Places to Work in Indiana by the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce.
“The IU Kelley School of Business continues to produce top graduates, and AIT is fortunate to have many of them working for us,” said AIT President and CEO Michael A. Evans. “IU plays an integral part in the growth of many life sciences companies, and AIT is honored to be recognized by such a great educational institution.”
Evans and AIT were honored at the May 10 commencement ceremony for Kelley Indianapolis graduate students. Associate Dean Phil Cochran noted Evans’ involvement in the recent Kelley Business Conference and several classroom activities on campus as well as for being an integral part in the school’s Global Supply Chain Innovation Enterprise.
AIT will join the ranks of Brightpoint Inc., the Venture Club of Indiana, Rolls-Royce of North America and the Carrier Corporation as past recipients of the Kelley School of Business Indianapolis Access Award.
