MITC and NITLE Collaborations: Take-home Messages Collaborators are both artists (creators) and
scientists (experimenters). Liberal arts colleges are collaborating - and in
the process developing useful things. Successful collaboration within a specific
sector produces results and resources that benefit both that sector and others.
