The academic experience of our students is greatly enhanced by the expertise of our business partners. At the same time, collaborating with the School of Management to educate our students can be very rewarding for members of the business community.
Class Projects and Assignments
Each semester, hundreds of business students from the School of Management seek out companies that are interested in participating in class assignments, from one-hour topical business discussions to semester-long consulting projects. We welcome and encourage your participation in these types of activities, as they are a great way to share your knowledge and help sharpen the skills of our students. To learn more, contact the Credit-Bearing Internships and Projects Office at 716-645-3233.
School of Management students are enthusiastic about applying their knowledge to help solve problems, create new programs or help your organization become more efficient and attract new clients. Our students offer fresh, creative approaches and are hungry for the industry knowledge that our industry partners can provide. Any public, private and not-for-profit organization may request an intern at the MBA, master’s or senior undergraduate level.
Presentations, Programs and Mentoring
Our business partners particularly enjoy direct involvement with our students and faculty by lecturing in class, “adopting” a course for an entire semester, or giving presentations at student club meetings. Many of our professional development programs, such as ourConversations with an Executive, Realistic Job Previews, Coffee Cup Conversations, Employer Expectation and MentorLink, provide corporate executives and entrepreneurs with the opportunity to share their expertise and offer career guidance and insight to students.
If you are interested in sharing your business knowledge and experience with School of Management students, contact Cynthia Shore, senior assistant dean, Alumni & External Relations, at 716-645-3226.
