Academic partnerships continuum   Support Exchange Cooperation Collaboration Definition Units engage at a lower level, providing support through transactional services, facility use, and/or funding. Units engage in a partnership that results in a mutually beneficial exchange beyond facilities and funding, but does not constitute a long-term, coordinated relationship between the units.

Dsa high impact practices Students invest time and effort to purposeful tasks. Students interact with staff, advisors and peers about substantive matters usually over extended periods of time. Students experience diversity through contact with people who are different from themselves. Students get frequent feedback about their performance – almost continuously – in settings that allow them to respond to that feedback. Students have the opportunity to integrate, synthesize and apply knowledge gained from their classroom/discipline to their co-curricular experience and vice versa. Student engagement encourages students to become aware of their values and beliefs and thus to better understand themselves in relation to others and the larger world.
