Partners

Partnerships fuel the work of the center. Although the center is itself a partnership among five institutions, an incredible amount of inspiration and energy comes from external partnerships. Our external partners provide financial support, forums for intellectual exchange, hardware and equipment, research collaborations, instructional resources, and a number of other benefits. In exchange, CENS provides students, technology, logistical support, and personnel, among other assets.
