Partnership Considerations
When completing the International Partnership Interest form, be sure to consider:
- How does your proposed international partnership relate to the University of St. Thomas' 2025 Strategic Plan? Partnerships that have direct ties to our strategic plans and priorities are more likely to be supported by the university.
- Is there any relevant research that would support the partnership you are proposing? It is valuable to provide market research or other substantial support to ensure your proposal stands on firm ground.
- Who else at your organization/university would be involved in this partnership? Do you have the support of your leadership? It is important to consider all involved stakeholders when creating a partnership.
