  • Provide underrepresented minority business students (undergraduate & graduate)with opportunities to
    • Enhance their professional brand;
    • Network with industry leaders and professional organizations;
    • Gain key tools, information, and resources for professional and academic success; and
    • Discover career opportunities.
  • To provide faculty with resources to engage the profession and support student success.

As we discussed, this may be a great way to recruit new NABA members.
 
Please ask your students to register as soon as possible. We are ordering the conference bags and giveaways and we are planning the pre-conference events.
