Executive-in-Residence Program
The first Executive-In-Residence Program was held during the five days of the 2005 Spring Break. Each day focused on a business topic which was taught by a team of executives who are top-notch in their fields. The 20 students accepted into the program were further assigned into work groups, each of which worked on a specific project throughout the week. The groups then presented their projects to a panel of executives on the last day. This was an intensive, hands-on program which the participants found richly rewarding in terms of educational content, real-life business experience, and networking. Below is the 2005 schedule of events. For information on the 2006 Executive-in-Residence Program please see the upcoming events schedule.
