Mission S n Stateme ment nt

The LSU Office of Corporate, Foundation, and Research Relations (CFRR) is responsible for initiating and coordinating relationships with corporations, foundations, and government funding agencies that support LSU’s education, public service, and research missions. Additionally, the office is a campus-wide resource for LSU faculty, development staff, and researchers seeking corporate, foundation, and/or sponsored research funding for major initiatives that support LSU’s 2010 “Flagship Agenda.” Our goal is to provide “one-stop shop” service for both external CFRR partners and internal LSU constituencies.

The he C Corporate P Perspective o

n Uni niversity y Partne nershi hips

Corporations desire partnerships with universities to gain competitive industry advantage (i.e. value):

— Recruit LSU’s diverse, nationally-competitive graduates and

student interns.

— Access relevant cutting-edge research, intellectual property,

patents, and academic/research reputation.

— Enhance public reputation/image through strategic

philanthropic and/or sponsorship-focused investment.

— Foster local/regional/national economic development. — NOT because “it feels good” or because “they ought to.”
