Co-Curricular Activities
The realities of a business career are demonstrated through the many corporate and governmental speakers who address our students in the classroom as well as through networking events organized by the Fox School’s Graduate Career Management Center. Also, faculty and administration ensure that students are informed of the wealth of speaker engagements open to our students from such organizations as the World Affairs Council, International Chambers of Commerce and professional organizations such as the American Marketing Association and the Society for Human Resources Management.
We create a plethora of opportunities for our students to extend their knowledge of different business subjects by creating different types of events for our students to learn and network at. Some additional events that we conduct are our Wachovia speaker series, networking events (one in the fall and one in the spring), MBA Leadership Conference, and our annual Spring Gala.

Corporate Treks and Networking Opportunities
Graduate Career Management and the MBA/MS Student Association partner on treks that introduce you to opportunities in various sectors. Students take onsite tours of companies and meet with upper-level management and human resources representatives within specific industries or geographic regions. In addition, we sponsor networking nights and happy hours with alumni and corporate representatives.
Networking Events
Because you are not following the herd and have chosen to follow your specific career path, networking is an essential component to your career leadership. You will use this skill throughout your career. The Fox School organizes many opportunities and events where you can interact with local alumni and working professionals in the area.
Speaker Engagement
You will have the opportunity to hear from alumni and corporate representatives in specific functional fields speak to their career success, the strategies to achieve your goals, and what day in the life is like for your profession.
Leadership Conference
The Fox School hosts an annual leadership conference for all alumni and current students. The events provides a full day of extensive executive education and networking opportunities. This is a time to reconnect with other alumni and current students in the local area and alumni who have traveled back to the region to share this experience.
Spring Gala
Take time from your classes at this annual event. Students, staff, and faculty come together for a night of social fun, dancing, and food. The gala is a time where guests find balance in their work schedules, relaxing and celebrating the new spring season and semester.
