Funded by a gift from Nicholas and Mary Babson, of Chicago, in support of the Pre-business program in the College of Arts and Sciences, the CAE will provide encouragement and advice to pre-business students, work with the Career Services Center and the Economics faculty to enhance students’ internship opportunities, assist graduating students seeking business-related jobs, arrange and host distinguished business visitors on campus, and organize summer programs that bring students, visitors, and faculty together in conferences or workshops.
Visitors are sponsored by the Graham Executive in Residence program. Established by Henry H Jr. and Diane Graham, of Jacksonville, Fla., the program provides for short-term residencies each year. Business leaders will not only deliver a public lecture but will be on campus, meeting with individual students and classes to discuss keys to principled business activity.
