Partners in Progress
Partners in Progress is hosted by HEI Program Coordinator,
A-State Graduate School, J Jagriti, a testimonial-driven series featuring conversations with CEOs and industry leaders who have successfully collaborated with Arkansas State. Moving beyond abstract innovation, the show focuses on the specific strategic dividends and ROI achieved through the university’s pipeline. This program serves as a transparent risk-mitigation tool for potential sponsors, proving through peer testimony that a partnership with A-State is a high-yield investment rather than a philanthropic gesture.
