What is the Corporate Partners Program?

The purpose of this program is to provide a link between your organization and the students of the Asper School of Business.

This program provides details of the many great events that are run by the Commerce Students’ Association (CSA), and the specialized student groups within it. These are value-added events that allow your organization to interact in many different ways with ambitious business students from various backgrounds. The CSA is proud to have such a strong relationship with the Winnipeg Business community, and appreciates the continued support from its partners. The strong ties to the Manitoba business community are due largely to the strength of the CSA’s relationships with its Corporate Partners.

The CSA

The Commerce Students’ Association consists of all students enrolled in the Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) program. When a student is accepted into the Asper School of Business they automatically become a member of the Commerce Students’ Association and a user of the student services and events hosted by the Commerce Students’ Association Council.

CSA Council

The CSA Council is a well-established organization of sixty one student volunteers including nine executive members who provide services to the students at the Asper School, as well as organize and facilitate value-added events for the Asper School’s 2000+ students.

Corporate Partners’ Program (CPP)

The CPP is designed to enhance the relationship of the CSA and Student Groups with corporate sponsors, known as our Corporate Partners. This is achieved through minimizing the number of students who solicit sponsorship and by consolidating all CSA sponsorship opportunities into one package. The goal of the CPP is to clearly display the opportunities offered by the CSA to promote value-added, mutually beneficial relationships between the CSA and its Corporate Sponsors.

Student Action Groups (STAGs)

In addition to the CSA, there are a number of student groups dedicated to the enhancement of specific areas of study. These Student Groups organize events relating to those areas of study so that students can learn more than just what is taught in the classroom. This also helps to form a common bond between students of specific majors.
