As a result of these links to the corporate community, students at the School have traditionally had ready access to business leaders for educational and professional purposes. Additionally, students have access to an extensive network of career planning services including regular on-campus recruiting events by national and multinational corporations, including job postings, networking cocktails, seminars, and the annual Business Career Fair, an online rTsumT bank where students may post their rTsumTs for employers to view, and a Graduate Profile Book, which is produced and distributed by the School to employers.
