For seven years, GGC’s Corporate Affiliates Program (CAP) has enhanced connections between the college community and local businesses.

Designed by GGC Advancement to foster collaborative relationships, the CAP program coordinates on- and offcampus activities, including campus guest speakers, panel discussions, mentor and coaching activities, career fairs and other recruiting activities, business facility tours and targeted relationship-building initiatives.

“Interactions between CAP members, students and faculty foster mutually beneficial discussions, as well as connections that lead to job opportunities for students meeting CAP members’ employment needs,” said Jennifer Hendrickson, associate vice president for Advancement.

Assurant, Inc., a global provider of risk management products and services, has been a CAP member since 2015. Since then, the company has participated in a variety of events with the School of Business.

“We knew we had to become engaged with GGC based on the talent of its students, the caliber of its faculty and the passion of its administrators,” said Sean Auerbach, vice president of Operations for Assurant’s local offices. “We believe that our involvement with GGC helps the next generation of leaders, and we benefit whether they come to Assurant or not. It’s part of our responsibility as a leading company in Atlanta to invest in the future.”

Auerbach said Assurant associates report being “wowed” by GGC students’ engagement and the faculty’s commitment. He cited his own experiences with sharing his insights while also learning something new from the students.

“It is always a value exchange when engaging Georgia Gwinnett students,” he said.

CAP members may choose to focus on one of three areas – the School of Business, information technolog y or GGC Athletics. Funds raised by the program provide critical support for GGC.
