At LSBE, we are building tomorrow’s business leaders, so it’s a priority to maintain active involvement in the business community.

Students put their classroom theories into practice through internships, career shadowing, field trips, mentoring, and direct participation in regional businesses. Faculty members get involved through formal or personal exchanges, mini-internships, volunteer activities such as board and committee service, guest lectureships, practitioner’s contributions to curriculum development, and practical life-experience seminars.

In addition, many of LSBE’s alumni continue to strengthen their relationship with the school by providing opportunities for students and supplying practitioners who support LSBE programs.

We are not only participants in the business community, we are leaders, and our students, faculty, and alumni work together to help the region reach its economic potential.
