Networking Opportunities
Opening the Doors to Your Future Success
At the Gabelli School of Business, we understand that part of the value proposition of earning an MBA is the networking opportunities it provides. Because of the School's location in New York City and its deep industry connections, our Full-time MBA students enjoy unsurpassed networking opportunities that help them to establish critical relationships and gain the upper hand in the hidden job market.
Alumni Networking
Leveraging the loyalty and willingness of our alumni to engage
Graduates of the Gabelli School Full-time MBA program, as well as those who have graduated from other Gabelli School graduate programs remain involved with our current students and engaged in the wealth of activities we have to offer. Throughout the academic year, there are opportunities to meet them, hear about their professional experiences and allow them to get to know you. They often attend the networking events we plan, and hire our students for internships that can lead to permanent positions.
Company Site Visits
Immersing you in the world of work while building critical connections
The Industry exposure MBA students receive goes well beyond the classroom. Visits to Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, and startups build deep understanding of how these entities function. Excursions also provide opportunities to hear from top-level executives, learning about their career paths, professional experiences, and what they expect from the MBAs they hire.

Guest Speakers & On-Campus Information Sessions
Hearing from the pros and learning about job opportunities
Recruiters and industry executives also visit campus, focusing on providing information about industry trends, summer internships, and permanent job opportunities. They provide helpful information about the types of jobs to consider and are more than willing to answer questions. We encourage all of our Full-time MBA students to take advantage of these discussions and to actively apply for open positions. Watch for communications from the Career Development team to ensure you are kept informed of upcoming events.
