There are many meaningful ways to support business students in achieving their academic and professional goals. By sharing your time, experience, and insights, you can help students prepare for success in an ever-changing business world. Explore the opportunities below to find the best way to get involved.

Volunteer in the Business Professional Development (BUS 300) Class

To meet the challenge of the increasingly competitive job market, the College of Business Administration (CoBA) created a program to develop students' personal and professional success skills. BUS 300 is taught by experienced professionals called Executives in Residence (EIRs). With the guidance of these EIRs, students fulfill course requirements that hone the valuable skills they need to differentiate themselves in today's competitive environment.

Provide Coaching to Graduating Seniors

The College of Business Administration invites business professionals to make a lasting impact by supporting graduating seniors through one-on-one coaching sessions. During each 15 minute session, you’ll help students clarify their career goals, create actionable plans for their next steps, and prepare them for life beyond the classroom. Your guidance not only strengthens their confidence but also bridges the gap between academic learning and professional success.

Volunteer in the Career Mentor Program

The program enhances the student experience by linking them one-on-one with an industry mentor. Students are paired with someone invested in their success — a person ready to listen, inspire, help navigate challenges, and recognize opportunities. At the same time, mentors will build their networks and develop skills to become better leaders.

Speak to Student Organizations

Student organizations are formally affiliated with the ÌÇÐÄÉÙÅ® College of Business Administration and play a vital role in enhancing the student experience. They provide opportunities for leadership development, professional networking, and hands-on learning that complement classroom instruction. The College meets regularly with the Student Advisory Council to encourage collaboration, ensure student voices are heard, and promote a supportive community.
