Partnerships - Miami University encourages and supports collaborative partnerships with educational, public, and private organizations including high schools, colleges, community or government-based organizations, corporations, and foundations. Examples of effective partnerships are ones that:

• Conduct solutions-oriented research
• Create new technologies or processes
• Shape policy that improves quality of life or advances economic development
• Prepare talented, diverse, and globally aware students to enter and contribute to the global workforce by serving the region, state, nation, or world

Please be sure to visit the Partnerships website for more information and to consider ideas or opportunities that you might propose or that might facilitate a collaborative academic partnership.

Risk Management Insurance - Many clinical training facilities on Miami’s campuses require evidence of coverage before students can participate. If your department purchases insurance for your students or requires students to purchase their own coverage, please send Rosanne Gulley ( gulleycr@miamioh.edu /513-529-4226) a copy of your policy. It may be the case there is no need for addition individual insurance given the coverage afforded by the University's policy, please read more about the policy here.
