Health and Human Sciences Building on Milennial Campus

Partnering for Regional Progress

Millennial Initiative provides for public-private partnerships

Millennial Initiative

Western Carolina University's main campus in Cullowhee includes seven areas designated as part of the university's Millennial Initiative. Under state law, millennial designation gives universities regulatory flexibility to collaborate with industry members on business ventures. As such, WCU's Millennial Initiative allows the university, private industry and government entities to work together through strategic partnerships, research, business innovation and more to serve North Carolina's westernmost region.
