About

Collaborating with TAMIU as a Signature Partner provides many incentives for your agency! Launched in Fall 2014, Partnership TAMIU is a nomination-based community engagement agreement designed to enhance existing relationships between TAMIU and external agencies by: helping community partners to meet their agency's mission and goals, promoting the exchange of resources between the University and community agencies, and exhibiting a commitment to social responsibility by addressing issues of public concern. The selected Signature Partners sign a three-year Memorandum of Agreement with TAMIU for exclusive collaborative efforts.
