Advisory Board
Our Corporate Advisory Board Keeps Us One Step Ahead
The ongoing health and success of a business school depends on its relationship with the surrounding community.
In order to make sure what's taught in the classroom matches what’s needed in the real world, the RMU School of Business relies on its Board of Visitors. These working professionals share their insights and serve as a sounding board and reality check. The result is a curriculum based on applied knowledge and student readiness.
The professionals who serve on the Board of Visitors come from varied backgrounds. Some have made their mark in large corporations, others hold key decision-making roles in government, while a number own their own small companies. The common bond is their desire to keep RMU fresh, compelling and valued in the marketplace.
