This is the perspective of a corporate sponsor. When we started our tean 4 years ago, we went to the three closest schools to our facility. We had a buget for sponsorship approved along with engineering, fabrication, and facility support. Of the three sets of administrators we approached only two said yes... And we had the money!! I dont believe that money is the only issue. Some administrators can't see the forest for the trees even if the tree is falling on them. Well, our last four years have been an outstanding expierence for the students, teachers, engineers, and other corporate personell. I really wonder sometimes if the administrators who said no ever really understood what they missed out on!
