The faculty liaison is a designated faculty member who acts as a conduit between the IAP member company and the Department.

The faculty liaison discretionary is an earmarked portion of the membership fee that could be spent towards activities that foster the relationship between the department and the IAP Benefactor.

The annual IAP Research Open House features research discussions with faculty, in-depth research presentations and demonstrations by students on current work, and a lunch that gives an opportunity for more extensive one-to-one interaction with students and faculty.

Exclusive recruiting events, where IAP Sponsor or Benefactor members can present an overview of their company, job opportunities, internships, etc. Such events are usually followed by time for refreshments and an opportunity for networking, sidebar discussions, and resume exchange.

Short courses, tutorials, research overviews, and seminars by faculty members at the IAP participant's site can be arranged (upon request and at the participant's expense).
