We want our partners to join us to showcase great ideas, develop the workforce, and highlight West Texas as the place for business.You are invited to be a part of the 3rd Annual Discoveries to Impact Week (DTI): A Celebration of Research, Engagement, Innovation, and Startups. DTI Week is made possible through an exciting new partnership between the Center for Transformative Undergraduate Experiences (TrUE), the Innovation Hub at Research Park, the Center for Integration of STEM Education Research (CISER), and University Outreach and Engagement.
