Podcast Summary

Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Anthony Wutoh, provost at Howard University, about how partnerships with industry and academic institutions can encourage innovation that benefits students, faculty, and the higher education institution.

Podcast Highlights

• Partnerships with industry can offer many benefits, including industry expertise to assist with course and curriculum review, access to state-of-the-art technology, industry speakers and mentors, internships and other opportunities for students and faculty to grow.
• These types of partnerships also provide the industry partner with assurances that the higher education courses are preparing students to enter the workforce. These collaborations also create a pipeline that can lead to jobs for graduates.
• Higher education leaders need to consider institutional mission before creating a partnership. Is the proposal aligned with where the college or university wants to go? Does the partner share a similar mission and values? Starting with this alignment can help the partnership grow more smoothly and lead to faster successes.
