Corporate Affiliate Program
Partnering to shape the next generation of innovators
Our Corporate Affiliates form an invaluable external advisory panel that helps keep the T&M Program at the forefront of both business and engineering education. These partners provide strategic curriculum guidance, engage in co-curricular events, sponsor capstone projects, and offer essential financial support.
Affiliates are also invited to participate in the Hallene Lecture series, which brings executives from affiliate companies to our campus, presenting on topics that live at the intersection of technology and business. These sessions offer students an intimate look into innovation in action and a unique chance to interact with key leaders in their fields.
