Sponsorship

University of Bridgeport’s Research, Innovation, Scholarship, Entrepreneurship (RISE) Committee welcomes sponsors for the event.

Last year’s UB RISE event had over 350 people attending!

In addition to our UB students, faculty, staff and alumni, we invite our Concurrent University Enrollment program high school students, community college partners, colleagues from Goodwin University, industry advisory board members, regional manufacturing and business executives as well as community partners!

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 Chair, Rob Gerowe, 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 join on April 5th so that you can see how your gift allows us to build upon UB’s legacy and to promote UB’s scholarly talents to tackle our 21st Century challenges. Please register for each day, beginning on February 5.
