building brand awareness and professional development of college students. The conference

provides a forum to promote your company’s brand and opportunities to underwrite events and

conference items such as the opening session, career fair expo, scholarships, technical sessions,

lanyards & badges and conference bags. As an ERSC partner, you have the opportunity to address

your firm’s strategic staffing needs, developing future talent and recruiting top performing students

for employment and internships. Additionally, the ERSC helps reduce company costs by limiting
