Listen Now: ‘Innovators’ Podcast with Kevin Byrne, TUFF President and CEO

Far beyond providing financing, The University Financing Foundation (TUFF) partners with institutions to accelerate innovation, foster industry collaboration, and create lasting economic development in communities. For more than 40 years, TUFF has worked across the country developing innovative ideas about both how to approach a problem and how to solve that problem. TUFF originated as an innovation, solving a challenge in a way that hadn’t been considered, and today we continue that original mandate.
