How does the Business Advisory Council contribute to the Graham School of Management?

Business Environment

The council helps the GSM stay relevant within the curriculum and business world by relaying what is going on in the business environment such as economic trends, environmental scans and other opportunities for faculty, staff and students to explore.

Course Syllabi Review

The council helps ensure coursework remains applicable to the modern business environment by assisting with reviews of course syllabi. Select members sign off as a "practitioner," solidifying that the course is relevant and will help our students' overall success.

Special Events

Council members may also be called on to serve as guest speakers, judges at competitions, or to assist with other networking events and opportunities.
