It has been widely acknowledged that there is a gap between the way research and scholarship from academia is understood and utilized in industry. However, effective collaborations between academia and industry have the potential of boosting economic growth and the strategic development of organizations. When educational institutions and industry merge, both have the opportunity to create a substantial and sustainable win-win situation for all. In this panel discussion, panelists will highlight four DEIB-related, collaborative projects designed to strengthen the bridge between academia and industry.

The Inclusive Leadership Summit (https://www.phoenix.edu/equity-and-diversity/inclusive-leadership-summit.html) is committed to fostering an atmosphere of life-long learning as we explore and address systemic inequities to inform and impact an ever-changing workforce. The summit integrates research findings from University of Phoenix Career Institute™ and Research Centers to influence topics addressed while highlighting academic fields of study offered at the University.

University of Phoenix (https://www.phoenix.edu/) has long been focused on creating a diverse, equitable, inclusive and belonging (DEIB) learning and workplace environment. We seek to foster a space where we can share and reflect on what we have learned, our successes, and focus on opportunities to further our DEIB growth and potential as well as that of our communities where we teach, learn, live and work.
