Penn State Connections
Students in the Executive MBA Program in the Smeal College of Business benefit from a number of networking opportunities through the Penn State connection.
Penn State Connections
It's not goodbye, it's hello
Our Executive MBA program brings together a diverse group of people from many different industries. You'll forge strong friendships with them and with your faculty. And those friendships will last your career—even your life.
But the circle of connections you build here is bigger than you can imagine. When you join Smeal you're joining one of the largest, most influential alumni organizations in the world—Penn State. And one of the most active: membership to it opens doors wherever you are. So when you graduate, we don't think of it as saying goodbye. You're saying hello to a world of opportunity.
"Two words: Penn State. They make the best introduction in business."
Greg Gatesman, Director of Private Banking and Trust Platforms, Merrill Lynch
As Milton Eisenhower, former Penn State President and brother of U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower, said of our alumni, "they are the real interpreters of the University to the people of the nation". The proof of this is found in the vast number of companies and organizations led by our alumni today. The influence of Penn State reaches every corner of the country; indeed you can go almost anywhere in the world and find a Penn State connection.
Penn State Alumni
When it comes to joining alumni associations, you'll find few stronger than ours. It's hard to describe the loyalty, spirit, and sense of pride our alumni feel about their alma mater. Perhaps the 100,000 strong who turn out for every football game put it best with the chant that reverberates through the stadium: "We are Penn State."
Penn State Alumni chapters span the United States and the globe. The Smeal College of Business boasts active Alumni organizations in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. No matter where your career takes you, it's likely Penn Staters will be there with you.
