Collaborate to Educate

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. 
  • Credit-Bearing Internships 
    • 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.
  • The UB School of Management/Levin Institute Program
    • Through the School of Management’s partnership with the Levin Graduate Institute of International Relations and Commerce, MBA students have a unique educational opportunity and a new gateway to New York City’s international financial markets and highly competitive financial-sector jobs.
    • If you represent a New York City-area financial services company and are interested in designing and sponsoring an international finance, capital markets or investment banking project through the UB School of Management/Levin Institute, contact Cynthia Shore, assistant dean, Corporate and Community Relations, at 716-645-3226. 
  • 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 our Conversations with An Executive, Realistic Job Previews and Alumni Telementor program, 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, assistant dean, Corporate and Community Relations, at 716-645-3226.
