Google Inc. is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies.

Google (platinum sponsor) has been a premier LEAD sponsor since 2006, having been extremely involved in LEAD Business at Stanford for two years until the company became the founding sponsor of LEAD Engineering in 2008. Google’s dedication and true belief in LEAD’s mission is inspiring. The company created the prestigious BOLD program that hundreds of LEAD alumni have applied for over the years.

Google has also hosted LEAD Business visits for Stanford and the University of Michigan participants while LEAD Engineering participants included those from Berkeley, Georgia Tech, Michigan and the University of Virginia. Students always rate these visits as the most challenging and always the most memorable. A true highlight, in 2008, Google’s co-founder spoke to the Berkeley class.
