Formalized in 1964 during the U.S. Civil Rights era, the Brown-Tougaloo Partnership (BTP) aims to enrich both campuses through academic and cultural exchanges, collaborative research ventures and administrative-level partnerships. In the over 60 years since its creation as one of the first partnerships of its kind between one of the nation’s historically Black colleges and universities and a leading research institution, more than 760 students and faculty members have participated in BTP programs and projects.
