<div dir="ltr">Hi all...<div><br></div><div>Our department (English @UAH) leverages all four areas Lisa mentioned. Most of these relationships are fostered through either our undergraduate TW minor or our graduate certificate programs: Tech writing and User Experience(UX). Here are a few details below. </div><div><br></div><div>1-- internship relationships: Our TW minor has an internship requirement. We source internships through UAH but also through our industry connections discussed below. For the TW and UX cert, the internship is an elective.<br>2-- advisory boards: We have a TW board to chime in on the course content, provide access to jobs and mentoring, and facilitate ongoing discussions about TW in industry. We will likely put together a UX advisory board soon.</div><div>3-- client-based projects: Our graduate certs both benefit from industry and gov projects. We have a running tally of projects that local industry is interested in, and we make regular requests to source additional projects for courses/faculty that require/request them. </div><div>4-- research partnerships: Most of our research partnerships are through our UX lab. In the lab, we foster graduate and undergraduate students and attempt to put them to work directly on industry and other faculty research projects and/or UX experiments. Some of this is new territory for us (the lab has been open about 2 years) and some of it is ongoing. Some of our examples of industry-academic projects are below:</div><div><br></div><div> ---we started collecting data for a collaborative article about UX creativity with a local company this month. One industry partner approached us with the proposal. We cleared IRB recently. </div><div> ---we run lunch & learns each semester to talk about various UX methods, tech, approaches and how best to deploy.</div><div> ---industry partners are invited to be participants, where warranted, in various UX experiments. </div><div> ---we provide student participants for company focused UX experiments; we help our partners design experiments and clear IRB as well</div><div> ---we have a proposal in the works for an edited collection about the collaboration between academia and industry. editors will be from industry and academia.</div><div> ---the lab faculty serves as mentors for companies in the UAH incubator. Through this new program, incubator companies will begin to employ our students in their upcoming UX research studies.</div><div><br></div><div>Our active research partnerships have to do with the university's deep connection to NASA and the Redstone (local army military base). Local industry has numerous UAH grads. Therefore, our calls to form partnerships have usually been answered. We cultivate these partnerships by putting on workshops, lunch& learns, just-a-lunches, providing and going on tours of facilities, and in general staying in contact. </div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_4129570179186692642m_-8755232726218844371gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8px">I'm more than happy to answer questions more specifically.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Regards...</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Joy Robinson, PhD</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Asst Prof</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">New Media and Technical Writing, University of Alabama in Huntsville<br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Director of the VUElab </div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div style="font-size:small"><a href="mailto:joy.robinson@uah.edu">joy.robinson@uah.edu</a><br></div><div style="font-size:small">twitter:@njoying</div><div style="font-size:small">pronouns: she/her</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 29, 2019 at 3:19 PM Lisa Melonçon <<a href="mailto:meloncon.research@gmail.com" target="_blank">meloncon.research@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Across the field, industry partnerships take on 4 distinct forms.<div>-- internship relationships: about 70-80% of degree programs have formal internship programs that they developed themselves or developed in conjunction in an office on campus such as an Office of community engagement.

While integrated across the curricula at both undergraduate and graduate level, the capstone course is where the most formalized of these may occur. These are often developed from contacts or word of mouth and are often not sustained in any real way beyond the course. Though, they can be if the projects come from an ongoing relationship from a long term internship partner or specifically from a member of the advisory board.

What follows is a summary from several appendices in my book.)</span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size:12px">-- what primary programmatic or course goals do the partnerships support? it is not enough to say that you need industry connections. You need to be able to determine exactly why. Is it for a check point on the relevancy of current skills to local industry? Is it for a pipeline of client projects? do you want to give students vetted internship opportunities? </span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size:12px">-- has your program, department, or institution (or all three) developed or tried to develop these type of partnerships currently or in the past? It is always good to know any. local histories before you make a move into local communities or organizations. If they have, try to find out as many details as possible as to what worked or didn't and what is still around or not.</span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size:12px">-- is there an office an campus that deals with these sorts of issue? even at small schools--and definitely at larger ones--there is often an office that is charged with these sorts of relationships. their helpfulness or usefulness is a mixed bag, but it is generally a good move to at least inquire.</span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size:12px">-- are there local chapters of professional organizations relevant to industries in which your students may work? such as local STC, AMWA, instructional design, marketing or PR chapters, etc.</span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size:12px">-- think of leveraging your local networks of people you. know and who they may know. Send an email introduction to you and to your program with. very specific action items of what you may want to accomplish. Generally, an email that is just about meeting is not going to get the same response. (I have samples of these if you want them.)</span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size:12px">-- staffing and sustianability: you have to consider how to build these with your current staffing and then how to sustain them. If you do not have the staff or resources to sustain initiatives, you may wan to consider other options. Said another way, if you are the only driver and only advocate, then it may not be the best use of your time because it will suck you dry and then die on the vine should you leave or step down or if you priorities change. A single person or a couple of people cannot be expected to build a TPC program with these sorts of relationships because they take time and energy to nurture and sustain. this is why I always include staffing when considering any programmatic change or addition.</span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size:12px"><br></span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="Helvetica"><span style="font-size:12px">And to be clear, I am a huge advocate of all programs having a connection in some way to the local industries in their areas, but my own experience in industry and in the years of progrmmtatic research, I do want to caution these are hard to build and even harder to sustain. Thus, thoughtful consideration beforehand is key to any large programmatic change, and industry relationships are a large programmatic change.</span></font></div><div><span

conduct interviews and focus groups with local employers in the KC area to find out how we can tailor our offerings to their needs. It would greatly benefit me if any on this list were able to share their own findings from such efforts, any published articles
in this vein, and any general advice. Feel free to message me off list or get a conversation going right here.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
