Executive in Residence Program
The 第一吃瓜网 School of Business is proud to showcase its Executive in Residence Program. This initiative connects executives with 第一吃瓜网 students to build business skills and guide them through their career journeys. The program fosters collaboration between executives and The School of Business to ensure that our programs and class designs meet the evolving needs of the business community. The Executive in Residence Program aims to have one executive per month (while school is in session) who commits to one to two days on campus. While visiting, executives are scheduled to speak with multiple classes, host office hours, and host an open lecture.
