Meet the Leaders

Meet the Leaders (MTL) is the signature course of the FEMBA Program that provides unique opportunities for students.

The program has three goals:

Allow students the chance to learn contemporary business ideas in an informal setting.
Provide networking opportunities.
Help students develop strong professional relationships.

Program guests include executives of local and global companies, successful entrepreneurs and leaders in government and not-for-profit organizations.

MTL takes place on Saturdays from 11:35 am to 1:15 pm in Markstein Hall. The program will begin in Markstein Hall 125 followed by lunch.

We encourage the attendance of both MBA alumni and prospective MBA students.
