Engage university, government and business leaders
in the challenges and opportunities for partnership.
Shortly after assuming the role as president of the University of Delaware, Dr. Patrick Harker proposed that the University engage more fully in addressing the challenges facing the community it serves. One way is through an ongoing series of public symposia organized by the University and the Delaware Public Policy Institute. Premised on the “Knowledge-based Partnership” concept, focus primarily on policy issues facing Delaware and the region, and considering those in a national context. The purpose is to engage university, government and business leaders in the challenges and opportunities for partnership. Since November 2007, conferences have been held on topics ranging from education for the global economy to creating a livable Delaware. Business leaders, academics and government officials throughout the nation have participated in the programs and approximately 500 attending each sessions. The series has strong endorsement and continuing support from government and business leaders.
