Executive in Residence Program
Our Executive in Residence program actively involves business executives, integrating their expertise into the fabric of the college. This initiative strengthens the connection between students and the corporate world, bringing real-world perspectives into the classroom and addressing current industry challenges.
Executives in Residence enrich the students' experiences with their practical knowledge, offering valuable career advice and deeper ties to the business community. While their professional insights are crucial, the personal lessons and experiences they share often leave the most lasting impression on students.
