The Corporate Partners Program
The Corporate Partners Program is designed to foster close communication and promote mutually beneficial relationships between select corporations and the Department of Computer Sciences. This cooperation provides members with increased visibility and communication, access to students who may become future employees, access to faculty who are experts in relevant technical fields, and executive involvement. Partnerships provide the Department of Computer Sciences diversification of funding sources and access to modern instrumentation, as well as professional resources in tune to marketplace needs. It is a true partnership, where both sides benefit.

Each corporate member is asked to appoint a working contact person. Membership thus ensures a personal communication link and offers individualized service to member companies. Members at all levels are eligible for representation on the Corporate Partners Council. This Council meets in the spring and fall. It is intended to provide input on current department activities and advise on how our programs can be modified to better meet the needs of employers.
