At the Dietrich School, we believe in the power of cross-disciplinary collaboration to tackle pressing societal issues, create lasting change, and improve life and work for all. Do you have a project or initiative that could benefit from fresh perspectives and top-tier student talent? The Dietrich School invites industry partners to collaborate by offering internships, research opportunities, community projects, or other experiential learning activities.
By partnering with us, you’ll gain access to motivated, curious students eager to contribute their skills and creativity to solve real-world challenges. Together, we can shape the next generation of leaders while advancing your organization's goals.
Our approach goes beyond traditional partnerships. We work closely with you to design culturally responsive initiatives that address your unique needs while fostering community well-being, enhancing education, and creating opportunities for sustainable impact. By focusing on meaningful collaboration, we ensure that every initiative reflects an understanding of diverse perspectives and aligns with shared goals.
As a partner, you will also benefit from visibility through university platforms, co-branded events, and opportunities to connect with other leaders in exclusive networking sessions. To celebrate and honor the vital role of our partners, we also recognize their contributions at our annual cross-disciplinary conference with awards such as the Outstanding Industry Partner Award, Outstanding Collaborator Award, and Outstanding Community Partner Award. These recognitions highlight your commitment to advancing education, fostering innovation, and addressing critical societal challenges. The Dean’s Fellow will be happy to discuss these opportunities further.
