What is CAP?

The Corporate Access Program was established to aid companies in recruiting and forming connections with students. CAP assists companies in:

  • Managing competitive on-campus recruiting of EECS/CS students.
  • Securing departmental space and staff time, alongside offering soft funding to student organizations and other departmental priorities.

CAP assists students in fostering on-campus interactions with potential employers, ensuring these interactions are effectively organized, appropriately timed, and aligned with the university’s public mission.
