Partners

Are you a state or federal elected official, staff or policymaker? Contact the CU System Office of Government Relations.

Partnership Opportunities

You can often expand the ability to achieve your goals through partnerships with the university. For example: 

• We can connect you with cutting-edge research to help you inform your policymaking.
• We can help the university work with your community to tackle tough issues such as transportation, housing and workforce development.
• We can help facilitate university-community partnerships that help provide access and affordability for Colorado students.

If you have a project that needs a university partner, we will work to help find that partner.
