Executive in Residence Program
The School of Business Executive-in-Residence Program is primarily a student motivational tool with a secondary purpose of providing an opportunity for the firm to express where they fit in the world of business, what their business expects from their professional employees, and what tools and skill sets prospective employees are expected to have.
In order for students to gain an understanding of the concepts and processes fundamental to productive business activity, the Executive-in-Residence shares the scope of activity and responsibilities of his/her position, how activity within his/her area is linked to other functional areas within the organization, and the personal background in developing the skills necessary for the position he/she holds. The program brings real-world business experience into the classroom.
