Outreach

IT has a long history of strong, successful relationships with the greater community.

IT offers business and industry a wealth of resources to help them succeed—faculty expertise, cutting-edge research, technology transfer, institutional collaborations, and the most direct route to finding highly skilled prospective employees.

The college’s outreach programs promote education for people of all ages. Effective, highly popular K-12 programs are designed to keep young people interested in mathematics, science, and engineering. Our engaging public lecture series feature distinguished scholars who discuss the latest scientific discoveries and explore the impact of technology on culture.

Other programs—such as the annual S&T Banquet, IT Mentor Program, and IT Parents Organization—offer valuable networking, volunteer, and social opportunities while they support the college’s mission.

These creative programs are dedicated to improving our quality of life, educating our citizens, and ensuring Minnesota’s leadership in emerging technologies and pioneering scientific research.
