Advisory Boards Connect Students With Business Industry Leaders
Kettering University has named 10 business and organizational leaders, including six alumni, as part of its first ever School of Management’s Industry Advisory Board (IAB), which will complement and coordinate with the elite group of faculty-nominated student leaders who are part of the Dean’s Student Advisory Board (DSAB).
In addition to providing strategic advice and vital connections for the University community and the DSAB, the IAB will help shape forward-focused curriculum and new program development. The board will serve as a critical resource for the School of Management, including advocacy for the school; input on industry recruitment trends; feedback on academic programs; sources of student co-op and internships, mentors, and jobs; and event speakers.
