The Office of University Development works to identify and develop opportunities for companies to support, through gifts and grants, Benedictine's priorities which align with the business' own interests. Events such as our world-class speaker series have been made possible through corporate donations.

Benedictine University understands that developing a strong partnership requires an elevated level of trust, focusing on benefits and outcomes that are inclusive of both the company's and the University's objectives.

The connection between a university and the corporate and foundation communities benefits all involved. Some ways that your organization can get involved:

• Gifts in Kind for the Golf Outing
• Mentoring of students by professionals in their chosen fields
• Naming a new or existing space on campus
• Perpetuate the company name by endowing a professorship
• Participating in career fairs for juniors and seniors
• Sponsoring programs or events on campus

We invite you to support the work of Benedictine University through your business or foundation. For more information on becoming a corporate or foundation partner, please call Jason Leppin at (630) 829-1814 or e-mail jleppin@ben.edu.
