Essential to the success of CEED and its students are the beneficial industry partnerships that we have established and maintained over the years. Through contributions, scholarships and participations in events, Industry Affiliates assist CEED in making its mission a reality.

Since 1983, CEED's Industry Affiliates have:

• Contributed to CEED efforts and to student scholarships
• Committed the time and resources of representatives
• Hired undergraduate student interns
• Hired CEED graduates for permanent employment

CEED's Industry Advisory Board (IAB), in particular, has been a key partner in CEED's ongoing undergraduate and pre-college efforts. Currently, the CEED IAB consists of 16 corporations, represented by 23 outstanding and committed board members.
