Partnership Potential Millikin has a recent track record of partnerships (with Blackburn College and upcoming collaboration with Bradley University for MBA direct admission). This indicates openness to strategic alliances that could be expanded to joint programs, tech-enabled learning initiatives, or shared services with vendors.

Growing Tech Stack The university leverages a diverse technology footprint (Adobe Creative Cloud, Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft 365, Mautic, New Relic, Microsoft Teams, LabVIEW). This suggests opportunities for education technology, CRM/marketing automation services, data analytics, software licenses, and training services aligned with these platforms.

Career Readiness With a strong employment/outcome metric (nearly all graduates employed or in grad school within six months), there is room to discuss career services, internship programs, industry partnerships, and employer-facing platforms that can further enhance placement results.

Athletics & Events Recent success in baseball coaching awards and hosting NCAA tournament events signals active athletics programs and event management needs, presenting potential for athletic tech, analytics solutions, recruitment platforms, and game-day operations partnerships.

Leadership Transition A new university president and ongoing executive changes create an opportunity to offer strategic consulting, change-management support, leadership development programs, and technology-enabled transformation services to align with the new administration’s priorities.
