Become a partner

Opportunities for Corporate Sponsors
Why become a partner with the Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing? The benefits are numerous. Partners on the Center’s Corporate Advisory Board enjoy increased visibility across the UA campus and throughout higher education nationally. They have access to well-prepared, high quality graduates to fill positions within their organizations. By serving as mentors, classroom speakers and event participants, partners learn from direct student interaction. They improve their own professional relationships by networking with other participating industry professionals

Companies increase their visibility at different levels of the community, while making their organizations known to the highest caliber of potential employees (and customers). They receive priority registration at conferences at which the latest research and industry trends are presented.
The Center is funded through partnership donations from participating retail, manufacturing, consumer products goods and consulting firms. Through these partnerships, the Center offers RCSC students the chance to intern with companies that are changing the face of the retail industry. The input from the corporate partners also impacts the curriculum as they bring issues to the classroom and challenges to our students in the form of case studies and/or applied research projects.
