Mission Statement

The Business Advisory Council’s mission is to provide guidance, support, and expertise to enhance the educational experience and professional development of Neumann University's business students. We are committed to fostering a collaborative environment between industry professionals, faculty, and students, with the aim of equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and ethical values necessary for successful careers in the business world.

 

Primary Objectives:

  1. Empowerment: To empower students by bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world business practices. We strive to provide them with valuable insights, industry trends, and practical advice that will enable them to thrive in their future careers.
  2. Mentorship: To offer mentorship opportunities that foster professional growth and personal development. By connecting experienced professionals with students, we aim to inspire and guide them towards making informed decisions, setting achievable goals, and building meaningful relationships within the business community. Mentorship can also include internships and employment opportunities.
  3. Networking: To facilitate networking opportunities for students, faculty, and members of the business community. We believe that fostering connections and building strong professional networks are vital for career success. Through events, seminars, internships, and collaborative initiatives, we create platforms where individuals can engage, exchange ideas, and establish valuable connections.
  4. Continuous Improvement: To continuously evaluate and enhance the curriculum and educational programs offered by Neumann University's School of Business. By staying current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and evolving business practices, we can ensure that our students receive a relevant and comprehensive education that prepares them for the dynamic business landscape.
  5. Community Engagement: To actively engage with the local business community, promoting mutually beneficial relationships. We strive to contribute positively to the economic development and overall well-being of the region by supporting local businesses, offering our expertise, and cultivating partnerships that foster growth and sustainability and sponsorship.

Through our commitment to these objectives, the Neumann University Business Advisory Council aims to create a supportive and enriching environment where students can develop the skills, knowledge, and ethical foundations necessary to become successful professionals and responsible leaders in the business world.

Expectations:

  • There are two virtual and two in-person meetings per year that members are expected to attend.
