Dr. Taylor Knight is driven to lead the leveraging of resources across sectors for innovative learning, rigorous research, and community collaboration in order to improve economic development and the quality of life.

Bringing together stakeholders to activate synergistic solutions is a favorite expertise.

“Make plans. Just be willing for those plans to actually change”
“We think that people are not accessible. And the reality is, many, many people are much more accessible than you think they are. But you do have to take the initiative.”
