The Caperton Center will initially focus on completing a gap analysis of all schools’ existing business partnerships and crafting a plan to revitalize and sustain their impact on students and communities statewide.

With a focus on helping traditionally underserved students, the Caperton Center will help foster new business partnerships specifically aimed at strengthening student equity and access to quality education through a broad array of programs, services, and events.

The Caperton Center will have the flexibility to respond quickly to new challenges and direct resources to emerging priorities - more important now than ever before.
