We will send you a copy of our annual report and other information about the institute. You can also explore our website, LinkedIn, and Twitter

A signed commitment letter will confirm your organization’s willingness to participate as an External Advisory Council member. We will also ask you to sign a release allowing us to use your company name and logo when identifying our partners on our website.

Throughout the year, we will share updates about institute news and events. You will also be invited to attend External Advisory Council meetings in the fall and spring semesters to share detailed updates our research thrusts and opportunities for collaboration.

As proposals arise that align with your organization’s areas of expertise, we will reach out to discuss ways you can collaborate with our research teams, e.g., serving as an advisor throughout the course of a project or being a part of the research team.
