MIT Sloan . The Business Associates Program is a partnership of the Sloan School with companies that value their recruiting relationship with the School and wish to provide financial support. Through annual gifts, Associates support vital School activities and contribute to the quality of student life.
Associates usually designate a senior manager as a key campus contact.
They can structure their involvement with the School to meet specific corporate goals. They can support the Sloan Annual Fund, sponsor activities for student organizations, or become affiliated with a management track or an international trip. Associates are also recognized for supporting MBA program initiatives such as orientation or minority fellowships. They are invited to special programs and events at the Sloan School of Management such as forums, panels, and lectures. Many Associates also sponsor participants in the School's Executive Education Programs, including the Sloan Fellows and Management of Technology Programs, and the many Special Executive courses.
