MBA Leadership Summit

Traditionally, MBA students participate in an educational experience as part of their Career Development courses. Our FTMBA students have traditionally traveled for a week-long leadership development opportunity in New York City. Faculty from various disciplines travel with students, challenging them to maximize the opportunity to get the most out of the experience. The interaction between students and faculty outside the classroom strengthens the educational journey at Baylor. While this has more recently pivoted to be an online event, the expectation is that it will return to an in-person trip as soon as it is safe to travel as a group.
