The Power of Creative Campus
The Manderson Graduate School of Business recognizes the value of joining forces with the arts to encourage economic growth. We recognize the value of the partnership between the arts and business. Developing partnerships between business and the arts to create a vital network where both communities flourish, through cultural and economic growth—that's the goal of all our programs and services. To strengthen the capacity and operations of nonprofit arts and cultural organizations, we funnel expertise and resources from the business sector. These programs offer a variety of opportunities for leadership, collaboration and involvement. Those extra-academic skills aren't just things that students can pick up once on the job. They may be the reason they find a job, especially in a tight economy.
