As it stands, Colorado State University’s Industry outreach efforts are thorough and diverse. CSU has relationships with many companies in many industries to allow students to keep up with the pulse in the business world. This symbiotic relationship allows students to learn from businesses and for businesses to benefit from the world of academia and student perspectives. For example, CSU and New Belgium Brewing have partnered to teach new brewery classes and the founder of Otterbox has donated over 8 million dollars for the new Richardson Design Center at Colorado State University. CSU also engages in various incubators and start-ups through the Colorado State University Research Foundation (CSURF) and Venture Validator through the College of Business. There are also collaborations with tech transfer offices, namely, Innosphere Incubation Program, CSU Ventures and Office of Sponsored Programs. Grant writing and legal assistance is provided through the Research Acceleration Office and CoWood Grant Writing Support. In addition, the Dean of the College of Business has an advisory board called the Global Leadership Council. This is a group of the best and brightest minds in business and related fields and they provide a vital link to real-world business. Furthermore, CSU has a list of employers that they partner with in order to improve the collaborative efforts of recruitment and iterations of the job itself.
