Guest Lectures and Industry Topic Courses
Each year, students coordinate a number of industry-specific
courses that require corporate participation to succeed. These
classes cover cutting edge business topics and help prepare
students to lead in those industries. Representatives from
your company can lead a case, offer timely insight into a
real business problem, or share current research. Haas has
a variety of Institutes & Centers and Faculty
Contacts who welcome contact. Course
lists are available online as well.
Become a Corporate Sponsor
As a Corporate Sponsor, your firm can choose from a range of activates that go beyond the typical recruiting events to not only strengthen its campus brand but also connect with Haas faculty, staff and alumni.
Annual events such as the Haaski Charity Golf Tournament, the Haas Gala in San Francisco, or the Alumni Celebration in Menlo Park are superb, high visibility networking events.
Or you can get a jump on recruiting and meet our newly admitted students by sponsoring Orientation Week or one of our workshops focusing on diversity and women's issues. For more information on how your company can raise its profile at Haas, contact your Account Manager or Melissa Raz, Assistant Director of Corporate Relations, at 510.642.2844.

Inviting students to your workplace not only provides students an excellent introduction to your company's culture but also serves as a useful setting in which to identify students of interest. Contact the appropriate club to arrange a visit.
Workshops and Panels
The job market moves rapidly, and an industry perspective
is essential to keeping our students abreast of changing
trends. Participating in a skills workshop or a career panel
is an great way to build your company's campus presence
while helping to develop tomorrow's leaders. Please let your Account Manager know if you are
interested in participating.

Alumni Industry Panels
Leveraging the Haas graduates within your firm is one of the most effective ways to strengthen the ties between your company and campus. Alumni industry panels provide an intimate setting for Haas graduates and current students to share their insight and experiences. To help you identify your Berkeley MBAs, we can provide you with a list of graduates who currently list your company as their employer.
Summer Receptions
For full-time hiring, holding a reception during the summer before a student's final year is often
a nice way to meet our students before they begin fall on-campus recruiting.
Your Account Manager can help you reach out to students who are interning near your offices.
Use Your Intern
Your most valuable on-campus recruiting representatives can be students who completed summer internships with your organization. Be sure to work with them to increase your visibility with Berkeley MBA students.
