Student Professional Readiness Series (SPuRS) Sponsorship

Sponsorship information

Sponsors of the SPuRS program have a direct impact on business students at WMU Haworth by engaging in a variety of career readiness activities and offering events that help students successfully transition from college to career.

As a sponsor, you will have the opportunity to provide valued direction, as well as support and guide business students with your time and experience. Your involvement on campus will establish your company as a leading supporter and recruiter of business students.

Partner with us on existing professional development events including:

  • Practice interview day
  • Resume critique day
  • Mock career fair
  • Student case study competitions
  • Bring your “A Game” to work

Do you have a new idea you’d like to see? We would love to partner with you on creative events to help our students gain the career skills that will set them apart.
