“The Technology Transfer Project (TTP) is one of the absolutely best models for student-faculty-corporation-agency partnering. From my perspective as president of Tennessee State University, the proof of the TTP model has been the steady stream of internships and careers provided to our students from companies like Deloitte Consulting, IBM and other Fortune 500 corporations. The TTP has marshaled resources from member schools and corporate partners to help students to develop for themselves the kinds of experiences and credentials that best position them for top jobs in top companies. This partnering model not only pays off for students, but it also enhances the skills of participating faculty members and supports an ever-growing network of resources.”

“The TPP has been very helpful in the strategic planning for Norfolk State University’s new School of Extended Learning. Their consulting services team provided valuable input toward the creation of a business planning roadmap for this new initiative at NSU. Highly experienced TPP executives worked alongside NSU employees to define the big picture associated with strategic planning and also applied best practices from business to adapt a unique planning document to our academic environment. In these difficult economic times, the TPP fulfills a very important role in assisting institutions in the development of plans that can best utilize our scarce resources.”
