The UHP enthusiastically supports students’ involvement in opportunities afforded by our partnerships with NC State’s Cooperative Education, Extension and Engagement, and Study Abroad Programs. An important part of our mission is to position students for admission to and success within graduate and professional degree programs and for employment in excellent jobs immediately following graduation. All three of these program goals can be supported by exceptional inquiry-, discovery-, and creativity-based, partnership experiences that include independent or group research/creative projects.

We continue to search for mutually rewarding opportunities, service-learning, and enrichment programs for our students, including a research-mentorship program with NC State’s Library and a year-long series of seminars, workshops, and exhibits with NC State’s Gallery of Art and Design. If you have an idea for a partnership activity with the UHP, please contact our director, Dr. Larry Blanton at Larry_Blanton@ncsu.edu.
