This is my own opinion, and you certainly need to talk with the department, advisor, etc., but sponsorship in general makes me a little nervous. I'm mostly okay with sponsoring of specific events (like AST has done) like meetings or installfests. I'm not sure if I like a wholesale sponsoring of the club as an organization, though. Then again, I have no leadership role with the club, so take it for what its worth.
