Community & Partnerships

Service represents a tangible demonstration of the school's commitment to create and sustain community and national partnerships characterized by open communication, collaboration and outreach. Through this commitment, the school and its partners derive mutual benefit through exchanged knowledge, resources and expertise. Faculty and staff view inclusion of our partners as a strength and centerpiece of all our activities.
