Effective Partnership Development and Engagement

OVERVIEW

On this page you can view the round-table webinar and explore resources related to exploring and cultivating partnership development and engagement in a remote environment. Our panelists identified various strategies and resources that can be deployed when working remotely with community, industry, government, and non-profit partners, whether locally or internationally, considered how we can leverage our strengths as an institution, and shared lessons that have already been learned through remote engagement with experiential learning partners to create meaningful educational outcomes.
