Moreover, Dr. Cultura pointed to the potential collaboration between the University and the organization. He shared the University’s USTP-Learn, Engage, Adapt, and Disrupt (U-LEAD), a new program that allows students to immerse and solve real problems in the community. The Barons Society could offer support in this pursuit by providing protection and security to students while working in the field.
