The SOM invests in building strategic partnerships with businesses, associations, nonprofit organizations, and other educational and research organizations in Boston and beyond. These partnerships provide career opportunities for our students, research opportunities for our faculty, and access to executives who come to share experiences in the classroom. At the same time, our partners turn to us for expertise, programs, and sponsorship opportunities.
A few examples of our partnerships:
- The SOM partners with Verizon by providing MBA and executive education for its women managers, referring students for job opportunities, and fielding SOM faculty as speakers.
- With funding from John Hancock Financial in Boston, the SOM has partnered with the Commonwealth Institute to place new MBA graduates as externs to help women of color entrepreneurs build their businesses.
- Hewlett-Packard provides both high-level sponsorship for our Leadership Conference and funds for faculty research. Citizens Bank provides funding for MBA scholarships, and its foundation funds our Leading Women Entrepreneurs series.
- The SOM partners with the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE), the largest women's professional association and the largest women business owners' organization in the country, providing resources and services through education, networking, and public advocacy.
