MSBA Alumni Board

Objectives

• Close the gap between what is taught in the MSBA classroom and what employers actually require.
• Use recent alumni as a continuing feedback loop for faculty, rather than a one-time review.
• Give faculty a structured, evidence-based view of how graduates apply and outgrow what they were taught.
• Serve as advisory input only; faculty and the program-review process decide what changes.
• Add to, rather than repeat, the school's existing cross-school benchmarking.
