Community college faculty serve as a valuable link between students and their opportunities in employment and continued education. Yet, we would benefit from improved insight into new research and innovation, technical skillsets, and workforce expectations. Collaborations between academia and external partners are a terrific source of enrichment for faculty that translate to relevant classroom and lab experiences for students. Through an externship supported by grant funding from the NSF EPIIC (Enabling Partnerships to Increase Innovation Capacity) program, I had the opportunity to interact with regional partners through facility tours, observation, and hands-on research. The experience provided a deeper understanding of the broad applications of biotechnology and spawned ideas for the classroom and curriculum to build relevant skills, provide avenues for undergraduate research, and, more importantly, capture student interest in the positive impact they can have in their community.
