Coffee with CSU Seminars

Coffee with CSU is a program to coordinate seminars that CSU faculty involved in IS&T related research and education are willing to give to members of ISTeC's Industrial Advisory Council (IAC) or to other companies, at their company site. A pilot program, started with IBM, has so far had six such seminars by faculty from three different colleges at CSU. It has led to:

• a funded research project;
• a consulting agreement;
• an IBM employee working on a doctorate at CSU (sponsored by IBM);
• and an IBM fellowship for a CSU graduate student.

Potential benefits to industry:

• increased individual contacts;
• collaboration in research and/or educational projects;
• recruiting quality CSU students to your companies;
• early access to CSU faculty research;
• and supporting employee career advancement by enabling pursuit of advanced degrees at CSU.
