The next phase of M Partner is taking place in Ecru and Pontotoc. Read on for details about priority projects and how to get involved.


M Partner is a community engagement initiative that connects university resources with priority projects in partner communities. Ecru and Pontotoc are designated as M Partner communities through July 2022. During this time, UM faculty, staff, and students are invited to connect their courses, internships, and co-curricular service projects with community priorities in Ecru and Pontotoc. These priority areas include promoting economic development, elevating local history, expanding educational enrichment, and encouraging visitors to the Tanglefoot Trail.
