Partner in Education Spotlight: Charles River Laboratories
Partners in Education PiE is the Education Alliance’s flagship program since 1988. There are hundreds of success stories confirming the effectiveness of business/industry/government/nonprofits working with schools and educators to raise the quality of education in our community. We spotlight these impactful relationships to recognize the important work being done through these partnerships and to inspire others to get involved. With 61,000 students in the Washoe County School District and 40,000 students at Truckee Meadows Community College and the University of Nevada, we need your partnership to help students become ready for college, career, military, life!
