Panel | 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.

Reception | 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. with light refreshments provided

Communities large and small face a multitude of social, economic and educational problems affecting the quality of life for their citizens. Developing partnerships to assist in problem-solving, economic development and resource delivery typically require a high level of collaboration, communication and commitment. How do institutions of higher education, K-12 education, government and business partner together? Can these partnerships provide more innovative, equitable, safe and economically viable solutions? What impact do these partnership strategies have on the community and its citizens facing a range of social and economic divides?
