The Poole Career Center helps our students navigate their career journeys by offering highly-customized services that address their individual needs and goals.

A Customized Approach

Our career team equips students to explore and leverage their value, tell their story and pursue meaningful career opportunities. By evaluating where each student is, where they’re headed and what’s most important to their professional development, our team is able to customize their approach for each student.

All students in the Master of Management, Marketing Analytics (MMA) program have access to the following career services:

Networking Events

Connect with industry leaders, alumni and peers across programs through interactive in-person and virtual events. Signature opportunities include:

  • Sector Summits: Evening events featuring panels with industry leaders on topics like AI, consulting, healthcare and supply chain—followed by facilitated networking with panelists, faculty and alumni.
