The support of Corporate Affiliates is crucial to the success of the program. Corporate Affiliates support the program in many ways, such as:
• Serving as external advisors to provide strategic guidance about the relevance of the curriculum
• Participating in extracurricular activities with students and faculty of the program
• Supporting the program's continual improvement
• Sponsoring the capstone course involving real business and engineering projects.
A lead commitment of $5 million from College of Management alumnus Steve Denning has helped make the Technology and Management Program a reality.
The gift has established an endowed professorship in Technology and Management and also provides other critical support such as advertising and promotion, expanded faculty involvement, and administrative leadership.
