Trulaske deans outline win-win partnerships with local businesses
Three deans from the University of Missouri’s Trulaske College of Business outlined TCoB’s partnerships with local and regional business during a presentation May 20 at Cornell Hall called Breakfast with the Deans, which was sponsored by the Columbia Business Times.
The win-win partnerships include collaborative research projects, student internships and student referrals. Professors serve on advisory boards, and business people are recruited to serve as professors-for-a day.
In the consulting projects, teams of students, supervised by faculty, analyze challenges and opportunities for local businesses. And Dean Bruce Walker mentioned the best part: it’s free of charge.
Walker also showed some of the business school links with the highly popular football program, which drew national attention to MU and helped fuel what’s expected to be more than a 20 percent enrollment increase in the coming school year. Quarterback Chase Daniel is seeking a finance degree in the business school, and 12 of MU’s football recruits mentioned an interest in the Trulaske College of Business. Daniel also was among 145 TCoB students who met with Berkshire-Hathaway CEO Warren Buffet in Omaha on March 14.
