Beyond the classroom: How a corporate-university partnership benefits the community
For the past several years, the University of North Carolina–Wilmington has hosted volunteer instructors from Wilmington-based GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy who teach engineering courses and engage with students. This guest instructor program has grown under the guidance of Amy Craig Reamer, associate professor of practice and director of engineering in the UNCW College of Science and Engineering’s Department of Computer Science. Under her oversight, an informal but strong public-private partnership has been established to the benefit of UNCW students and the wider Wilmington community.
