Hi Arline,

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but last fall I heard a presentation from a university about navigating cannabis. Here's the session description and the presenter info if you want to look her up and reach out:

Resistance is Fertile: Innovating through Resistance with Alternative Credentials
Level: Applied | Track: Administration |
Hallmarks of Excellence in Credential Innovation: Internal Advocacy, Entrepreneurial Initiative
Alternative credentials are at the forefront of enormous innovation: but, as with any innovative approach, they can face resistance at every level of our higher education institutions. In this talk, we’ll take Rutgers Law School’s Certificate in Cannabis Law and Business as a case study. This program went from an initial idea to launch in 11 months, marking a significant step for the law school as its first open-enrollment non-credit program. It was also a major step for Rutgers, given the institution’s hesitancy towards any involvement with cannabis. We’ll share some of the key strategies used to gain support and implement the program, and describe how viewing resistance as a fertile opportunity for further innovation was crucial to the program’s success.

Vanessa Williams, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

Hi,
I had an alumn reach out to me today who provides financing for cannabis orgs. Our legal counsel does not permit us to work with cannabis affiliated companies due to federal funding. I'd love to hear from colleges that do work with cannabis affiliated orgs, and how you got your counsel to approve working with these companies.
Thank you,
Arline MacCormack
