“We have been very pleased with our experience with UWSP Corporate Partners Program. They have presented opportunities for us to get more involved with the students on campus along with allowing us to build relationships with other faculty. We have worked together on ways we can help be a resource on campus with faculty and the students on the different opportunities we have to provide!

“Going to events with corporate partners has expanded my network in ways I never thought was possible. I have made so many connections that will aid me in the professional world. Corporate Partners introduced me to an internship that solidified I am on the right track. They offered me a job after graduation, and I could not be more excited to continue working with them.”
