"CSE and CEC have worked closely to increase our engagement with current and potential industry partners. We have worked on preliminary strategy, a broad range of interactions including faculty and students, and processes to increase our joint effectiveness. All CEC staff have been critical in helping CSE achieve our impact with corporate partners both local and national."

"The CEC is a great partner to NRRI. They do their homework. CEC makes strategic connections between NRRI's unique capabilities and the identified research interests of major industry partners. This invites and encourages companies to plug into the power of the "U" and leverages NRRI's System role as a partner for applied research and demonstration. That's a win-win for the company, the University, and the state."

“I have found working with the Corporate Engagement Center to be very beneficial for building new bridges to industry and for strengthening current connections. The team works well with both faculty and industry contacts and they help further develop current research partnerships and establish new ones. Their experience in research contracts, faculty research interests, researcher education and career development, and the continuum of basic, applied, and translational research is evident and very helpful in fostering research collaborations with companies.”
