The UMD Labovitz School of Business and Economics (LSBE) integrates with business and non-profit
communities in the region in two ways:
For students, theory and practice come together through experiential learning
opportunities such as internships, career shadowing, field trips, mentoring, and direct
participation in regional businesses.
For LSBE faculty members, the School offers opportunities to involve business
practitioners with the academic world through formal or personnel exchanges,
mini-internships, volunteer activities such as board and committee service, guest
lectureships, practitioner’s contributions to curriculum development, and practical
life-experience seminars.
LSBE’s relationship with our alumni is strengthened as alumni continue to provide
opportunities for students and to supply practitioners who support LSBE programs.
 These
efforts are further strengthened by LSBE’s centers, boards, business
institute and research bureau:
The UMD Center for Economic Development
(CED) and the CED Advisory Board, is made up of business leaders
from throughout the region. The CED supports the growth, diversification
and stability of northeastern Minnesota's economy.
The Bureau
of Business and Economic Research (BBER) provides research on
economic problems and business opportunities in the region.
The Center
for Economic Education (CEE) has a mission to improve the quality
and the quantity of economic education and economic literacy in
the classroom, with a focus on K-12 teachers and students in Minnesota.
The LSBE Board of Advisors is the link between the Labovitz School of Business and Economics and organizations and businesses in the community
the School serves. The board provides advice, assistance, strategic
planning, and development actives for the School.
The LSBE Accounting Advisory Board advises the Department of Accounting
and assists in maintaining a high standard of accounting education.
The board promotes the availability of academic resources and provides
avenues of communication that help LSBE Accounting remain responsive
to the changing needs of the community.
Our business community is also well represented in LSBE by recruiters who interview
graduating students and offer internships and further opportunities for learning.
