Continuing its commitment to teaching, research and service, Plymouth State University created the Center for Rural Partnerships, an organization aimed at connecting the needs and goals of rural communities with insightful research and productive partnerships.
The Center works with diverse local populations and community leaders including elected officials, community groups, schools, developers and others to promote a high quality of life in rural New Hampshire. The Center is building diverse coalitions of people throughout the Northeast, including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and upstate New York, to consider public concerns from a variety of perspectives. The needs of communities generate the goals of the Center, helping to drive the research and service agenda.
