The OSU Foundation's Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) team is crucial in fostering and strengthening the university's partnerships with corporate and Oklahoma State foundation supporters. These relationships are vital for advancing the university’s mission, which includes promoting learning, advancing knowledge, enriching lives, and stimulating economic development through teaching, research, extension, outreach, and creative activities.
The CFR team cultivates comprehensive, mutually beneficial partnerships with industry and foundation partners. Engagement opportunities include access to a talent pipeline, faculty and student-led research, employee involvement, and more. The CFR team is here to help you navigate the complexities of the higher education system and align your priorities with the university's initiatives.
Talent Pipeline
Engaging with the CFR team allows us to thoroughly assess your company’s recruiting needs and provide tailored recommendations. This might involve connecting you with campus career services for information on career fairs and recruiting events, exploring opportunities to fund and name a scholarship or campus space, and supporting student programs that align with your organization’s mission.
Research
Sponsored research projects and senior capstone projects offer students essential, hands-on experience while addressing the real needs of our corporate partners, giving you the opportunity to engage with potential hires. The Innovation Foundation at Oklahoma State University is committed to supporting corporate partners interested in applied research initiatives. The CFR office is available to facilitate introductions and initiate these conversations.
Employee Engagement
Corporate partners and OSU alumni participate on various committees and advisory boards across campus. As our partnership develops, we appreciate the chance to leverage your expertise while offering your employees diverse volunteering opportunities.
