SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

University of Vermont

Since 1791, the University of Vermont (UVM) has worked to move humankind forward. Today, UVM is a Public Ivy and top 100 research university of a perfect size, large enough to offer a breadth of ideas, resources, and opportunities, yet small enough to enable

close faculty-student mentorship across all levels of study, from bachelor’s to M.D. programs. Here, students’ educational experience and activities are enriched by our location — from the energy and innovation of Burlington to the forests, farms, and independent spirit of Vermont. UVM provides students endless ways to explore the world, challenge ideas, and dig in on the most pressing issues of our time.

The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities is a research, policy, and advocacy organization dedicated to strengthening and advancing the work of public universities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. With a membership of 238 public research universities, land-grant institutions, state university systems, and affiliated organizations, APLU’s agenda is built on the three pillars of increasing degree completion and academic success, advancing scientific research, and expanding engagement. Annually, APLU member campuses enroll 4.8 million undergraduates and 1.3 million graduate students, award 1.3 million degrees, employ 1.3 million faculty and staff, and conduct $44.9 billion in university-based research.

I. PREFACE The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) provides selected organization and corporations with the opportunity to sponsor its 2019 CII Summer Meeting.

The primary interests served by having a sponsorship program are: to provide an opportunity for corporations and organizations to demonstrate their interest in and support for the mission and services of APLU and of its members; and, through their financial support, to defray the costs associated with the Summer Meeting that otherwise would be borne by attendees.

II. GENERAL GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR APLU SPONSORS Sponsors at APLU’s 2019 CII Summer Meeting are provided the opportunity to demonstrate their strong support for the higher education community. APLU only accepts organizations and corporations that have goals consistent with APLU’s mission. APLU appreciates the commitment of its sponsors, which helps to ensure that APLU continues to deliver the highest quality programs to its members. The following principles serve to guide the relationship between APLU and its sponsors. APLU strives to provide meaningful recognition to those who sponsor its programs and services.

• APLU’s interactions with its sponsors are characterized by the same high degree of professionalism, quality, and service that it provides to and shares with its own members. APLU’s interactions with its sponsors/exhibitors are always personalized and collegial, in keeping with the Association’s culture and core values of civility and collegiality.

• APLU understands the desire on the part of sponsors to receive as much recognition as possible, but APLU respects its members first and foremost, and therefore retains the right to limit sponsor access to APLU members, including access to certain meeting sessions.

• Sponsorship are completely independent of programmatic planning. In a few exceptions where speaking slots are part of sponsorship, sponsors are not allowed to use time to sell any specific products or materials.

• APLU maintains strict and complete editorial control over all materials published in connection with sponsorship.

• APLU does not endorse an individual sponsor or its products and services. APLU acknowledges sponsorship participation publicly, but in ways that do not suggest or intend endorsement.

• APLU is accountable primarily to its members. Member objectives and directives, if they are ever in conflict with sponsor objectives, take precedence.

III. RELEVANCE TO APLU’S MISSION & PRIORITIES• APLU seeks corporate support only for activities in connection with programs and initiatives

that support APLU’s mission.• Sponsors must be relevant to APLU membership and acceptance of a proposal for sponsorship

of any program or activity is at the discretion of APLU.• APLU reserves the right to reject any sponsorship deemed inappropriate to, or inconsistent

with, the mission of APLU. APLU further reserves the right to negotiate with any sponsor concerning any aspect of a proposed sponsorship and decline sponsorship as it deems necessary.

• APLU may consult with members on an as needed basis for their feedback on potential sponsors.

All sponsors are also subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the APLU Application and Contract for Sponsorship.
