​4.1-Build Strategic National, State and Local Partnerships

RIC will build on existing community partnerships and actively explore opportunities for collective impact. We will embrace stakeholders and 'outsiders' as an important part of the innovation ecosystem at our college. Our community partnerships will provide innovative experiential learning opportunities for our students while involving and strengthening our relationships with key external stakeholders. These mutually beneficial associations will be a part of our commitment to 21st century skills development and inclusive excellence, as well as a means for RIC to provide state leadership in the areas of education, healthcare, technology and the arts.
