Back for the fifth year in a row is our annual virtual Business School Mini-Conference!

Please join us on November 6th at 11am (ET) as we bring top business school leaders together, including Lily Bi (CEO of AACSB), to discuss accreditation, assessment, career readiness, student professional development, and experiential learning.

Lily will kick the program off by reviewing the AACSB accreditation standards and highlighting the importance of student engagement data in the application process. Then, tune in to hear about our exciting collaboration with Penn State University’s Smeal College of Business and their Smeal Ethical Leadership Challenge. Learn how Smeal successfully implemented Suitable to elevate their co-curricular experience, help students build ethical leadership skills, and collect crucial student development data necessary for AACSB accreditation and the CIR.

To wrap up, we’ll welcome a dynamic panel of your peers from the Lehman College School of Business, the Gordon Ford College of Business at Western Kentucky University, and Texas A&M University's Mays Business School. They will delve into effective strategies for student involvement that also serves as a capture system for critical qualitative and quantitative assessment data.

This event will provide:

  • An update from AACSB’s Lily Bi about the new accreditation standards and the role student engagement plays in the process.
  • An overview of how these top Business Schools utilize Suitable’s competency framework to align their Assurance of Learning goals and bridge their curricular and co-curricular experiences.
  • An inside look at how to leverage experiential learning data to meet accreditation and assessment reporting needs.
  • Tips for engaging Business students in professional development programs.
The agenda features a panel session and partner story, along with interactive Q&A after each session. There is no cost to attend and a post-event recording will be sent out to all those who register!
