Our Mission

The mission of the Business Associates is to create a partnership between the Craig School and the business community that will generate the resources necessary to achieve excellence in business education.

The Business Associates assist the School to improve the education of students and to serve the Central Valley business community. As partners, the Craig School of Business and Business Associates promote educational and economic progress for Central California.

Investing In Our Future and Yours

An investment in the Craig School of Business is a "win-win" situation- by investing in our future you invest in your own success! Your contribution to the Craig School provides the margin of excellence we need to produce the capable, qualified graduates you need. 

Your Business Associates annual gift supports a variety of important Craig School programs and projects for which no other funds can be provided by student tuition fees or the State of California.

Your Gift

We have three levels of giving for Business Associate membership.  All Business Associates receive valuable benefits for their annual contribution.  For those who feel compelled to step up their support, we have created the Gold and Silver sponsorship levels.  Take a look at the added benefits under the "membership" page and pick one that is right for you!  Current areas of support include:

  • Innovative projects submitted by faculty, staff and students that benefit the Craig School and its stakeholders
