PeopleIndustrial Advisory Board
Twice each year (in October and March), the MBP’s Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) members convene at Northwestern University for the Research Symposium where they meet with the students and evaluate and mentor them on effective professional communication. Separately, the IAB members meet annually with the MBP director and faculty members and advise them with respect to key industry developments, relevance of the MBP curriculum, and actions required to maintain competitiveness and relevance of the program.
