External funding obtained through grants, contracts and planned giving will assure the continuation of innovative student initiatives and foster research and creative activities that enrich the community. Our success in securing that funding hinges on our ability to engage our faculty, staff and students in productive, collaborative relationships. Cultivating partnerships with sister institutions, as well as with schools, business and industry, government, and religious and social service agencies, increases the University's influence and impact as it addresses the needs of society.
