EMBA Makes an Impactful Investment
Within the first two weeks of October, the Broad College of Business Executive MBA delivered two major announcements that will make a tremendous impact on business in two critically important spaces: Detroit and nonprofits.
The Broad College will take MSU’s investment in Detroit’s renaissance to new heights when it launches its EMBA program in the city in 2017, making it the first MBA of its kind offered in the Motor City. As Eli Broad stated, “I expect aspiring business leaders and entrepreneurs in Detroit will jump at the opportunity to earn an Executive MBA from MSU, which will build the talent to help the city continue its economic resurgence.”
To deepen its impact in the nonprofit sector, the Broad College has partnered with the Michigan Nonprofit Association to offer a scholarship to two students who work full-time for nonprofits. “We understand the tremendous need to increase the volume of business thinkers in the nonprofit sector, and this scholarship supports our commitment to develop leaders who will make an impact on causes and communities across the state and country,” said Dean Sanjay Gupta.

If Broad’s Walls Could Talk, They’d Ask for a Change
“I chose Broad College of Business because I felt like it would provide me with all the resources I needed to excel. Not just in the classroom, but also to develop professionally. Broad encompassed everything I wanted in a business school: a community, a challenge, and a commitment to me as a student,” said Broad Student Senate President Kari Jurewicz (BA Accounting ’17).
For many students like Jurewicz, Broad’s reputation for excellence and making an impact draw them through the doors of the Business College Complex. But once they begin their Broad journey, they’re met with academic challenges outside course curriculum. “If you look around during the school year, it’s clear to see that the space isn’t conducive to what we need to succeed in our classes,” Jurewicz said.
