These engagements consisted of presentations, workshops, project planning meetings, and consultations. We also serve on numerous committees supporting our respective fields. As Figure 19 makes clear, the number of meetings we've facilitated with external partners has grown exponentially in the last three years (we did not track this support in 2018-2019). We see this work as essential to raising the teaching profile of Wake Forest, one of the objectives of our strategic plan.
