T3; Tech Hubs Talent Training Student Success Coach

Description

Tulsa is home to the only higher education consortium of its kind in the state of Oklahoma. The Tulsa Higher Education Consortium, LLC ("THE Consortium") is an organization of multi-institutional, cross-sector partnerships that meaningfully improve students' journeys towards degree completion, professional independence, and economic mobility. Its members include nine Tulsa-area colleges and universities (College of the Muscogee Nation, Langston University, Northeastern State University, OSU-Tulsa, OU-Tulsa, Rogers State University, Tulsa Community College, University of Tulsa, and Southern Nazarene University-Tulsa) and seven affiliate partners (Tulsa Community Foundation, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, the City of Tulsa, the Tulsa Regional Chamber, Impact Tulsa, The Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce, and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education).

The Tulsa Higher Education Consortium's mission is to cultivate an aligned network of higher education institutions and community partners committed to increasing degree completion for all students in the region. The Consortium serves as a convener, connector, and communicator for its members, allowing for synergy and true collaboration centered around supporting Tulsa-area students on their postsecondary journeys.

The U.S. Economic Development Administration designated Tulsa a "Tech Hub" and awarded a five-year federal tech hubs grant as part of a historic investment in U.S. economic competitiveness and national security. Tulsa’s proposal, the Tulsa Hub for Equitable & Trustworthy Autonomy (THETA), will advance the development of autonomous technologies, such as uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), drones, cybersecurity and generative artificial intelligence.

The T3 program is part of the Autonomous Systems Workforce Program portion of the THETA projects, overseen by Tulsa Innovation Labs, LLC. For more information about the tech hubs grant, visit
