Corporate Partnerships: Make an Innovative Impact
The McCombs School provides an atmosphere where industry and academics
converge, invigorating business practice. Through our greatest asset—our
students—our school offers companies highly motivated and well-trained
graduates prepared to enter the fast-paced world of business. Companies
in turn interact with students by sponsoring events and hosting
competitions, career-related activities, speaker panels, career treks
and annual club conferences, giving them an opportunity to see our
students in action and to gauge their contributions as future employees.
The McCombs School also offers companies access to highly disciplined
research and opportunities to work closely with nationally recognized
faculty. It is especially through our Centers of Excellence that
industry and faculty work together on real-world challenges.
For instance, The AIM Investment Center equips MBAs with real-world
experience, as they manage an investment fund valued at more than $13
million for individuals and institutional clients. Our Supply Chain
Management Consortium connects leading corporate executives with
students and faculty to develop and disseminate best practices in supply
chain management. Our Real Estate Finance & Investment Center is the
first at a leading university to support research on finance-related
real estate issues and to
develop a specialized curriculum in this area.
With corporate support and involvement, the McCombs School remains
vibrant and innovative, attracting a strong applicant pool and a
distinguished faculty.
Thus, corporate partnerships play a vital role in the school’s continued
progress. We sincerely thank our corporate partners for their valuable
investments of both funding and expertise.
