Through CLiPS, Case and Fisk have developed a strategic partnership that encourages joint research and educational initiatives.  This unique alliance allows for joint activities for CLiPS participants ranging from high school students through faculty members, and is sure to become a model for a fully integrated partnership between a Minority-Serving Institution and a Research Institution.  The Case-Fisk Alliance has the following components: full research partnerships, joint graduate research projects, fascillitated graduate school admission, 3/2 dual-degree program and semester exchange programs, undergraduate summer internships at CLiPS Institutions, and high school recruiting.

In addition to these initiatives, faculty and staff from each school regularly travel to the other to give seminars and participate in other events.  For a list of such activities on each campus, visit the webpages for Case and Fisk on the CLiPS website.
