Providing faculty and students with access to practicing business professionals is a priority of the Leon Hess Business School. The Leon Hess Business Council is one of the ways we forge partnerships with corporations and business leaders to share knowledge, practical insights, and research collaborations.
The council consists of current and retired businesspeople with extensive backgrounds across business sectors. They provide students with career mentoring, experiential learning opportunities, and access to high quality networking.
