The School of Business and Economics Advisory Board gathered
in the beautiful May Gallery in John T. Mullen library recently to kick off
the new academic year and meet their MSBA student mentees. The
board, comprised of local business leaders and executives, is instrumental in
advising us on the latest trends in hiring and ensuring we are adjusting our
curriculum to reflect the needs of employers. During this session, Dr.
Abela reviewed the long term strategy for the School of Business and a discussion
ensued about how to increase the visibility of the school and its mission.

| Ms. Kelly addressing the Advisory Board |
The board was extremely impressed and complimentary of the
work Corporate Relations Manager Marykate Kelly has done in putting together an organization focused on
ensuring all School of Business undergraduate and graduate students are
prepared to find that all-important first job.
After reviewing this year’s MSBA
class recruiting results and discussing ideas to extend the reach of the program, the current
class joined the meeting to be paired with their Advisory
Board mentor and enjoy a reception. The mentoring program is an important and popular feature of the MSBA
program and gives our students another important touch point in the community
and in the business world.
I
look forward to watching these relationships grow into lifelong networking
opportunities. Thanks to all of our advisory board for their great advice
and support.-Stewart McHie
