Special Brownbag Co-Sponsored by ARHU and BSOS: The Myths and Magic of Corporate and Other Partnerships

  Corporations, non-governmental organizations, hospitals, government agencies, educational institutions, the list of potential sponsors for scholarship, creative works and research products is almost endless. Yet, faculty have misunderstandings about what the real value of these partnerships can be for their professional success. Come learn the facts related to funding partnerships; see data from our campus that show the direct impact on metrics for tenure and promotion; and hear specific cases from ARHU and BSOS. All disciplines -- from art to psychology -- are welcomed. Featuring Dr. Ben Shneiderman, Professor in Computer Science and author of The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough Collaborations (Oxford University Press, 2016). RSVP your attendance to Ashley Richerson at arichers@umd.edu.
