Partnership Priorities

In alignment with the mission of enhancing the education experience of individuals at Northwestern University and Evanston Township High School (ETHS), our office focuses on four strategic partnership priorities.

STEM Pathways

Our office supports programming that incorporates best practices that promote racial and gender equity in STEM-related fields.

We leverage relationships and resources to help ETHS students learn about and access post-secondary options.
