About Corporate Relations

Mission statement

Initiate and foster corporate connections that provide diverse and mutually beneficial partnerships for the university and business community

Corporate Relations is the university’s connection to the corporate community. We are responsible for acquiring marketing based opportunities for the university using a partnership framework and grounded by the university’s vision for the future. These partnerships may be strategic alliances or sponsorships. These formal business relationships enable Corporate Relations to secure new sources of revenue that directly benefit the campus community through student awards, Co-op student funding and cash sponsorship for projects. In addition we secure exclusive discounts on products and services, product donations for events and much more.

The department of Corporate Relations is deeply integrated in the operation of the university and we directly facilitate our partners’ cause marketing and corporate social responsibility initiatives. We provide support to faculties, departments, students and employees through the management of our strategic alliances and sponsors. Our support, through funding or in-kind product donations, has enhanced many student and employee projects and we look forward to providing assistance to organizations across campus in the months and years ahead.
