About SOC Partnerships

The relationships fall into four general categories:

• Academic Centers: Learning laboratories at SOC.

• Special Relationships: Valuable associations with prestigious institutions often centered on a special event.
• Fellowship Sponsors: Organizations or individuals providing dedicated fellowships or internships for SOC students.
