Join the Corporate Partners Program

The Daniels Corporate Partners Program provides the financial resources and intellectual capital that allow Daniels to offer top educational and research programs benefiting the University of Denver, as well as the regional, national and global business communities. Our Partners program encourages valuable interactions among executives, students, faculty, staff and alumni. These exchanges--from mentoring to consulting projects--prepare our students to become tomorrow's leaders. Our Corporate Partners, moreover, benefit from access to a world-class pool of talent: our students, alumni and faculty.

At all levels, the Corporate Partners Programs gives participants access to:
