Partner Stories
BTU Partner Stories allow faculty and staff to tap into BTU, strengthen existing partnerships, and expand opportunities for inter-disciplinary engaged work.
TU faculty, students, and staff are already working with partners on a range of impactful projects, programs, and initiatives. But, there are always opportunities to further collaboration between TU's colleges, divisions, and community partners.
BTU Partner Stories bring community partners to campus to share stories about their current work, discuss needs, and brainstorm solutions with representatives from across the TU community.
