Corporate Engagement
The Office of Corporate Engagement supports the implementation of Washington State University’s Strategic Plan and its research and education mission by serving as the system-wide steward of its engagement with public and private companies and their industries. Our team can help your organization partner with WSU, faculty, staff, students, and their world-class research, innovation, and outreach throughout the state and around the world.
WE CAN HELP:
- Identify WSU projects and programs aligned with your organization’s or industry’s mission
- Schedule on-or off-campus visits to introduce you to faculty experts with shared interests
- Begin conversations about partnering with WSU
- Inform your organization about WSU’s Strategic Plan, our research strengths, and opportunities for developing innovations in sustaining health, sustainable resources, opportunity and equity, smart systems, and national security.
