Corporate and Foundation Relations
The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations partners with national, regional,
and local corporations and foundations to secure external funding for campus priorities
and programs. These partnerships are a valued part of the support system behind faculty-driven
initiatives, expanding our curriculum, and enhancing the tools and resources available
to our students.
In partnership with the Office of Sponsored Research, we help align ideas and needs on campus with funding opportunities that could make
them a reality.
