Who We Are
At the University of Arizona, Strategic Partnerships serves as a central entry point for external organizations interested in sponsorship opportunities with the university. We provide a single, streamlined pathway to explore opportunities across multiple divisions of campus, making it easier for sponsors to engage with university audiences. Our work strengthens relationships and helps businesses connect meaningfully with our campus community.
Housed within Brand Development and working in tandem with Trademarks & Licensing, we help external organizations engage with the university in ways that uphold brand integrity, protect institutional reputation, and support shared goals.
Working alongside campus units, we create a unified approach that empowers external brands to activate bold, high-value sponsorships, connecting you with the audiences that drive Arizona’s energy, innovation, and impact.
