- Create mentorship opportunities between industry attendees and students.
- Share CLE partnership opportunities, including our project partnerships, with industry attendees.
- Provide networking opportunities for our industry attendees.

CLE Connect is a networking event. Each organization will receive it’s own high-top table and small signage. Industry attendees should feel free to bring swag or other materials to promote their organization. Please note that a high-top table does not offer a large surface space (roughly 36” in diameter).
Graduate students in our MS in Engineering Management and MS in Global Innovation and Leadership through Engineering, as well as undergraduate students from across the university pursuing CLE minor programs and members of our student organizations.
