Sponsorship Program 2013

New Student Programs is excited to offer sponsorship opportunities for the 2013 calendar year to interested businesses who would like to connect with over 3,000 incoming freshmen and transfer students along with their respective family members.  As a sponsor, you will have the opportunity to promote your business to incoming students before they arrive on campus as well as during their orientation and transition programs.  This is an important time for new students as they learn about Charleston and the surrounding communities.  This year, we are working with the Charleston and Mattoon Chamber of Commerce and are offering discounted prices to members of these organizations.  New Student Programs is looking forward to working with and creating mutually beneficial relationships with several businesses through our sponsorship program.
