Jacksonville University should become your university. Why? Because our goal is to enhance student development through increased exposure to the business community and provide our partners tangible benefits to reward their involvement with our students and faculty. Creating a Corporate Partner relationship with the University allows you to develop a connecting point with faculty for topical research, provides special opportunities for consultation and interface, and provides early access to recruit the brightest JU students to help you improve your company. Through priority contact, Corporate Partner firms engage in a dialogue with the school that leads to broadly based, mutually beneficial relationships.

The Corporate Partnership Program recognizes businesses that provide restricted or unrestricted gifts, in-kind donations and sponsorships of at least $5,000 annually to the educational mission of the school.
