In my service to the community, I choose to work with organizations that will allow me to do research that will help them. This assures me three things:
- That the research will be used and valued by someone;
- My research will keep me current and relevant to industry and the trends occurring within it; and
- Will allow me to merge theoretical frameworks into a practice-based orientation to gain real insights.
Further, I then get into the upper echelons of the organizations and build networks who I use as guest speakers and get students internship positions. While this is a model that can not work for everyone, it is one that works for me. I believe as a result of my research, my classes better prepare my students for the future.
