Sponsorship
The University of Bridgeport’s Research, Innovation, Scholarship, Entrepreneurship (RISE) Committee welcomes sponsors for the event.
For your financial sponsorship or donations of in-kind support, your gift will be acknowledged with your name, or your company’s logo,* placed on the UB RISE Sponsorship page, printed program materials, and announced at the reception following the awards ceremony. If you would like more information about other sponsorship opportunities, please reach out to UB RISE’s Sponsorship Subcommittee at .
Your gift will allow us to award cash prizes to our student and faculty poster winners as well as support the day’s events. Simply, click Give Now below, enter your gift amount and then select UB RISE in the designation drop down menu.
We invite you to attend UB RISE on April 4 so that you can see how your gift allows us to build upon UB’s legacy and to promote scholarly talent and innovative pursuits to tackle our 21st Century challenges.
* Please send in the name of the sponsor and the logo to Julie Demers at .
