The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) is excited to welcome three new universities to our Power Partner Program: California Polytechnic State University (San Luis Obispo, CA), Kennesaw State University (Kennesaw, GA), and State University of New York Polytechnic Institute (Utica, NY).
The Power Partner Program highlights universities that demonstrate strong engagement with NFPA’s fluid power education initiatives—such as the Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge, Fluid Power Club, and the Speakers Bureau—and that offer dedicated fluid power coursework as part of their engineering curriculum. These schools represent key opportunities for NFPA members looking to connect with and recruit emerging engineering talent. With the addition of these three new institutions, the Power Partner Program now includes a total of 11 participating universities.
To celebrate and officially launch these new partnerships, NFPA will host on-campus recruitment events at each of the three universities. These events provide exclusive opportunities for NFPA member companies to connect with talented engineering students and engage directly with the schools’ Fluid Power Clubs and Vehicle Challenge teams.
Please forward this message to any team members within your company who may be interested in attending, or to a contact at a local office near one of these universities, to help ensure your company is represented. NFPA does not always have direct contacts at every company facility, so your help in sharing this information is appreciated.
