Frequently Asked Questions

How long is my Corporate Partners Program membership valid?

Your membership is good for up to one year. The program runs from the beginning of the academic year on July 1 through the end on June 30. Partners receive the most benefit by joining in the late summer or early fall.

What does my membership support?

Corporate Partners Program fees fund programs and initiatives that benefit our students, including student-run events, club activities, and participation in conferences and competitions.

If I sponsor an event directly, will I still qualify as a Corporate Partner?

No. Companies can only join the Corporate Partners Program through the department, not through individual event sponsorship. If you would like your event sponsorship to qualify for the Corporate Partners Program, please contact Melissa Gunnell.

How do I take advantage of priority scheduling of recruitment events?

Each semester, partners are given access to the department’s recruiting calendar a minimum of one week earlier than the general public. You will receive an email notifying you when the calendar is available.
