In a partnership focused on teaching and learning, corporations may fund studentactivities, offer tours of facilities, give technical talks, organize meetings and plan/fundeducational trips.4 To inform the creation of partnerships to support teaching-learning activities, it isimportant to determine what components are needed to create a successful partnership of thistype. While attention has been called to the importance of universities pursuing corporatepartnerships, there are few models available that have examined what components are necessaryfor the success of these relationships as well as the benefits to each partner to doing so. Using a case study approach, this paper examines one short-term summer
