Corporate Connection
Morehouse College is dedicated to producing the next generation of outstanding business and civic leaders. Our Corporate Connection program gives our corporate sponsors a variety of opportunities to partner with us in achieving this goal. Companies may participate in any combination of the following activities based on their business interests and strategic directions.
Corporate & Foundation Relations, part of the Office of Institutional Advancement, reaches out to corporations and foundations to support Morehouse's fund-raising efforts. One of its primary responsibilities is overseeing the successful Presidential Chat and Executive Lecture Series.
Leadership Lecture Series allows students to interact with top Fortune 100/500 executives who share business wisdom and insight that can't be gleaned in the classroom. Presidential Chats are informal roundtable discussions where executives meet with about 20 students to discuss business-related topics. Executive Lectures feature executives giving prepared remarks and fielding questions from a group of about 100 students.
The Division of Business Administration and Economics sponsors the following:
Executive Mentorship Program, a highly selective program, establishes one-on-one mentoring relationships between 30 of our top students and high-level executives. The goal is to accelerate student development as they prepare for the business world.
Student Internship Program places students in work environments that provide valuable hands-on training opportunities. This work experience enhances students' formal education and expands their knowledge of future career options.
Advisory Councils feature corporate representatives whose interests and expertise coincide with the goals and objectives of specific Morehouse initiatives. These councils may be organized by function (e.g., the Leadership Advisory Council) or by academic program (e.g., the Business and Economics Advisory Council).
Case Competition Series brings corporate representatives to campus annually to critique student case studies, allowing business administration and economics students to receive feedback directly from professionals who are established in their field.
Sales & Marketing Institute invites corporate representatives to conduct training workshops and interactive seminars for students. Institute seminars typically focus on proven sales and marketing techniques in certain businesses and industries.
