Corporate Relations
The Corporate Relations staff serves as a liaison between the University of Missouri and corporations. For many companies, our office is the first point of entry into the university community.Corporate Relations helps companies identify areas of need and interest; establish and develop relationships between the company and university faculty, researchers, students and staff; and build a partnership based on mutually beneficial opportunities.
Business and industry have played a significant role at MU for decades through generous philanthropic support. They also provide opportunities for students and faculty through post-graduate employment, internships, faculty grants and sponsored research.
In return for their support, corporations gain many competitive advantages, such as:
- Strengthening ties to the state's premier land-grant research university.
- Supporting and accessing pertinent research.
- Working with Mizzou's students and faculty.
- Enhancing their public image.
- Playing a leading role in the state's economic development.
- Having a head start in attracting Mizzou's talented, diverse and leadership-ready graduates to their workforce.
