MBA Student Advisory Board

The Student Advisory Board meets twice per semester to discuss the MBA program. The purpose of meeting is to generate ideas from students about how to continually improve the Rockford College MBA. This Board creates an open structure that allows communication to flow quickly and efficiently in several directions; students to administration, administration to students, and students to students.

Being a SAB member carries the responsibility of a leadership position. Our members understand their student voice makes a difference. This responsibility includes speaking to groups about the RC MBA and sharing their program experience with coworkers and friends.

Advisory Board Policy

Background : The MBA at Rockford College has been serving the needs of working professions in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin for over 20 years. In order to build on past successes and build a stronger program in the future, an MBA advisory board composed of key community executives, graduates of the program and Rockford College graduate faculty, is necessary.

Purpose : The MBA advisory board will participate in program reviews, evaluate curricular changes, suggest program enhancements, and act as community liaisons for the MBA program.

Commitment of individual board members : Board members are expected to attend a Fall and a Spring board meetings. These meetings will last for approximately two hours. There will be some advanced preparation required for each meeting in the form of reading material distributed prior to the meeting. Individual board members may also be asked to provide feedback or guidance to new MBA initiatives between the bi-annual meetings. Names of Advisory Board members may also appear in printed publications of the MBA Program at Rockford College.

Terms of service : All board members are asked to serve two-year terms, which are renewable upon mutual agreement of the board member and the Director of the MBA program. All advisory board members are invited to participate on the board by the Directory of the MBA program based on recommendations from the President of Rockford College, MBA faculty, and current MBA Advisory Board members.

Structure : The Director of the MBA program will chair The MBA Advisory Board. At least one and not more than three additional Rockford College faculty will also serve on the board. The remainder of the board will consist of up to eight community members and eight Rockford College MBA graduates. Meetings will follow an agenda distributed to board members at least one week before the meeting date.
