What Are The Sponsorship Benefits
Sponsoring SBA or its events is a great way to advertise your firm to University of Houston Law students. By becoming a sponsor of the UHLC SBA you don’t just get the satisfaction of supporting the next generation of legal professionals. Sponsoring our programming and initiatives also provides:
- Impactful exposure and connection to a large group of future attorneys through promotional features.
- Unique opportunities to directly engage with future leaders in the legal field at co-hosted events.
- Prominent featuring of your brand in SBA promotional materials and event signage, ensuring widespread brand recognition and positive association.
- Direct access to the Executive Vice President of the Law Center’s largest student organization, providing your firm with valuable insights into campus events.
- Promote your firm’s events and information through SBA’s communication channels, reaching more students than any other organization on campus.
Event Sponsorship Opportunities
SBA is open to collaborating with interested external entities to create new events and opportunities for the Law Center student body, both on and off campus. SBA has several recurring events available for sponsorship. Nonetheless, we invite sponsors to support recurring SBA events, such as:
- Bar Reviews: Our most common social event, held approximately three times throughout each semester, with the intent of providing an environment for students to take a break and connect with classmates.
- Halloween Bash: ~350 attendees – A festive Halloween event that fosters camaraderie and allows our students to unwind before the start of the Fall finals season.
- Barrister’s Ball: ~600 attendees – Our formal Spring gala celebrating student achievements, community connections, and the completion of another successful year of law school.
- Lunch and Learns: Exclusive lunch panels hosted at the Law Center by SBA, allowing students to learn from practicing attorneys about relevant legal topics and their experiences within the legal profession.
