Dear Prospective Sponsor, 

You are cordially invited to participate in the 6th Annual Engineering Graduate Symposium (EGS) at the University of Michigan. This is an exciting gathering of current engineering graduate students, faculty members, prospective graduate students, and industrial sponsors from all engineering disciplines. EGS’11 will be held on Friday November 11, 2011. The EGS will feature a keynote speaker, industry information sessions, and research poster sessions presented by graduate students from across the College of Engineering (CoE). Hundreds of students present their work every year.  In addition to the rich technical program, the EGS serves as a visit opportunity for prospective graduate students from the top schools across the nation to learn about our graduate programs. The EGS will allow you to meet talented graduate students, faculty members, and other industrial sponsors in a relaxed atmosphere. Sponsors will have unique opportunities to interact in various ways, including information booths that are located near the posters that best represent your company's interest, information sessions, by providing a keynote speaker, or publishing an ad in the book of abstracts.  All sponsors will also have their logo featured on the EGS website for a full year.  The EGS provides a fantastic platform to apprise participants about your organization's research and development credentials, future initiatives, and employment opportunities. You will receive an electronic resume book as well as the abstract book in advance of the symposium. We are currently offering two levels of sponsorship:

Level 1 sponsorship:  Level 1 sponsorship allows you to sponsor a technical session. There will be 15-20 sessions, and you will be closely matched with your company’s area of expertise. In addition, you will receive an electronic resume book, abstract book, and can send representatives to the symposium to meet students and faculty. Your name and logo will be prominently featured at the site of the poster presentation with the session title. You will receive a half-page advertisement in the abstract book, and your logo will be featured on the EGS posters. The award announcement for the session will include a thank you to your company.

Level 2 sponsorship: Level 2 sponsorship entitles your representatives to a booth, information session, and a full-page advertisement in the abstract book. You will also receive the electronic resume book, abstract book, and the opportunity to interact with students and faculty. Your name and logo will be prominently featured on the EGS posters and all other publicity materials.

For further information about the EGS, or how to sponsor the EGS, please email us at SymposiumSponsors@umich.edu.  We greatly appreciate your interest and contribution to the EGS, and look forward to meeting and welcoming you to the University of Michigan, CoE. Best regards,
