Garber Center's Advisory Board

Mission:
To support programs that involve MBA students in the selection, analysis and continuing review of promising new business ventures with the resulting knowledge and experience being disseminated throughout the entire MBA program.

The Garber Center Venture Capital Center, an arm of the Farrell Center, maintains a student managed venture capital fund. The Garber Center Advisory Board reviews investment policy of the Garber Fund, and reviews specific student recommendations. The advisory board provides advice and counsel on investment decisions and educational programs related to the center. The board meets at least semi-annually.
