Mentors and Alumni:  Aiding Your Success

A distinctive strength of the W. P. Carey Strategic Marketing and Services Leadership Specialization is the program’s strong and growing network of mentors and alumni. 

Strategic Marketing and Services Leadership Specialization Mentorship Program

undefined

 

In their second year, SMSL specialists can ask to be matched with an industry mentor.  Industry mentors are executives who have expressed an interest in providing career guidance to our students.  Mentors agree to advise their student about how to design their studies and job search to optimize the student’s potential for success in the executive’s field.   The program’s mentors have included executives from a broad range of industries who share a belief in the quality of Strategic Marketing and Services Leadership students.  Like the Strategic marketing specialization’s applied projects and internships, the mentorship program is intended to provide students with a learning experience that is conducted in partnership with leading companies.

Strategic Marketing and Services Leadership Alumni

Specialization graduates are successfully pursuing a diverse set of professional careers.  As a student, and later a graduate, you will join a growing network of W. P. Carey alumni in marketing and other specializations.  The Marketing Department and the Center for Services Leadership sponsor a variety of events over the course of your program that provide invaluable opportunities to network with alumni and other executives.  The table below provides many examples of the successful and interesting careers being pursued by marketing alumni.
