As graduates, they appreciate the demands of the rigorous curriculum and intensive overseas portion. Alumni also are a rich source of information about job openings at their companies. They advise students on how to market themselves and identify key decision makers. Conducted on campus, the Alumni Career Seminars enable students to speak directly with graduates about their career goals. Many MIBS and IMBA alumni who are unable to participate in on-campus seminars have agreed to serve as mentors, or advisors, for students interested in their companies.
Students can communicate with the mentors by telephone or correspondence.
Upon request, mentors also will forward a student's resume to the appropriate contact at their companies. On-Campus Recruiting The Office of Graduate Career Management has been able to increase the number of companies recruiting on campus each for each of the past several years. The on-campus recruiting season begins each January, immediately after the students have returned from their internships and overseas academic programs. Alumni Network and Job Journal Placement activities are not limited to students in the MIBS and IMBA programs. Graduates are able to join an electronic alumni network, providing a considerable opportunity to learn about new trends and business developments.
