This
summer, Stanford Student Enterprises will be putting on its
annual Business Leadership Program. This intensive five-day
conference focuses on refining the skills and increasing
the exposure of 50 outstanding Stanford students chosen for
their strong commitment to business and their demonstrated
intellectual prowess. The program affords corporate sponsors
the opportunity to meet with these leading business-minded
students in a uniquely intimate setting.
The Business Leadership Program (BLP)2005
Stanford University is very unique in that it does not offer
any type of pre-Business major. This means that students interested
in business must be highly proactive, reaching outside of classes
to learn about and experience the business world. BLP began
two years ago to provide a concentrated, focused, and guided
opportunity for continued education. This year’s program,
running from September 19th through September 23th, includes
case study workshops, lectures delivered by Stanford professors
at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and opportunities
to have one-on-one sessions with representatives of the most
prominent firms in the Bay Area and around the country.
The Participants
The mission of the Business Leadership Program is to equip
the professionals of tomorrow with skills and knowledge that
are not easily attainable in an undergraduate curriculum. After
a highly selective application process, 50 students will be
chosen to participate in the program. These students, with
a variety of academic concentrations and widely variable areas
of achievement, have chosen to return to campus for BLP prior
to the commencement of this academic year. Each is either a
senior or a co-terminal student who will receive a Bachelors
or Masters degree in June of 2006.
The Benefits to Your Company
The Business Leadership Program gives sponsors access to these
outstanding candidates—many of whom have business work
experience and are considering an MBA—well in advance
of the fall recruiting schedule. Sponsors are encouraged to
provide corporate information packets and other recruiting
literature, which will be distributed to each student prior
to the start of the program. Sponsors will also be recognized
throughout program with literature commensurate to the level
of sponsorship. Our program features a recruitment fair giving
your company representatives a chance to formally meet with
interested students, while informal “mixers” and
large dinners allow students and representatives to learn more
about each other. Your company’s participation in the
BLP would enhance not only the students’ learning experience,
but also provide your company with an early opportunity to
recruit some of Stanford University’s most gifted scholars.
The Business Leadership Program could not exist without the
generosity of our sponsors. Please feel free to contact us
at blp@sse.stanford.edu, or via telephone at (650) 723-3138
to learn more about our sponsorship opportunities. We look
forward to having your company as a part of this outstanding
program.
