Past Programs
A pilot program, launched in the fall of 2017 in partnership with the National Basketball Association (NBA), involved ten active and recently active NBA players as well as twenty second-year MBA students and one student coordinator. Since then, two editions per year (in the fall and spring semester) featured around twenty athletes—from sports leagues such as the MLS, the NBA, NFL, NWSL, and WNBA, from the UFC, and from the world of ballet—and nearly fifty MBA students and two student coordinators who volunteered their time each semester.
