Good afternoon IMLA University Cities Members: Please save the date for an in person University Cities Summit in Tulsa, Oklahoma July 27-29. You'll be hearing more about that soon! In the meantime, I wanted to see if anyone from this group was interested in moderating a session at the April Mid-Year Seminar in DC which pertains to University Cities. Here is the title and description: Smarter City: Using University Research Agreements to Fuel Innovation in Your City When cities and universities collaborate, great things happen. This presentation will explore how local universities can be a valuable resource when your city is solving complex challenges. Additionally, university research helps cities navigate difficult policy areas ranging from sustainability to transportation to housing affordability/homelessness. Working with a city is also a win-win experience for a university. Cities can provide universities with research funding, student internship opportunities, and most importantly, an opportunity to serve the community. Join our presentation to learn how your city and university can collaborate to fuel local innovation. This presentation will take place on 4/8 from 10:45 - 11:45 am. Moderating involves introducing the speakers and helping to facilitate the Q&A. Please let me know if you are interested in moderating.
