About the CSUA

Thank you for considering partnering with the Computer Science Undergraduate Association (CSUA) at UC Berkeley. We are the largest club in the computer science department and have over 30 years of experience with planning events.

If you have any questions or would like to plan an event, please email [indrel@csua.berkeley.edu]{.underline}. We are also open to helping you craft a custom event not listed here. Thank you for your support!

1. Tech Talk

Sponsorship: $800 - $1475

Companies can present research they are currently doing, show new technology/products being developed, or discuss the current field of computer science industry. The CSUA will handle catering (covered by sponsorship), advertising, flyers (optional), and room reservation.

2. Info Session (CAP only)

Sponsorship: Through the EECS Department

This is similar to a tech talk, but companies can actively discuss their open positions and solicit resumes. The CSUA will handle catering (we will send you the invoice), advertising, flyers (optional), and the EECS department will handle room reservation.

3. Startup Fair Table (Startup only)

Sponsorship: $750 (One Table)

The CSUA, IEEE, and HKN partner to host a career fair once a semester. Companies may purchase one table to actively recruit students and solicit resumes. Company must be a startup (having existed less than 5 years or having fewer than 200 employees). The CSUA, IEEE, and HKN will handle all logistics including catering for recruiters, advertising, and room reservations.

4. CSUA Hackathon

This fun event is a time for students to hack together on projects, which they will present at the end of the event. As a sponsor, your company will send representatives who will judge hacks built by students and view talent at UC Berkeley. The CSUA will handle catering, advertising, flyers, room reservation, prizes, staffing, and ground logistics. This is a great time to find potential fits for your company!

Sponsorship Levels:

  • Platinum: $6000 (7 reps, 5 or more judges, integrated full length tech talk, Gold benefits)

  • Gold: $4000 (5 reps, 3 judges, 40 minute tech talk, Silver Benefits)

  • Silver: $2500 (3 reps, 1 judges, 15 minute talk on company, ability to be named to choose and endow a prize, Bronze benefits)

  • Blue: $700 (1 rep, logo on flyer and website, swag distribution from company, company logo and summary posted on Hackathon website)

5. Coding For Grub

Sponsorship: $2000

As the sponsor, your company representatives will present a technical problem for the participants to solve. You will be able to view and judge the coded solutions presented by the participants. The CSUA will handle catering, advertising, flyers (optional), prizes, and room reservation.

6. Puzzle Challenge/Case Study

Sponsorship: $1000 - $200

This is similar to a Coding for Grub, but the problem does not have to involve coding and can be more theoretical. We are happy to assist companies in gauging whether a puzzle challenge or a case study is appropriate for them. The CSUA will handle catering, advertising, flyers (optional), prizes, and room reservation.

7. Resume Workshop (CAP only)

Sponsorship: Through the EECS Department

Company staff and engineers will individually critique resumes as students finish them for the new school year, a great way to get to know students individually and identify potential talent. The CSUA will handle catering (we will send you the invoice), advertising, flyers (optional), and the EECS department will handle room reservation.
