Marquette’s College of Business Administration has announced the Marquette Business Partner Program, an initiative designed to strengthen connections between the college and the business community. 

The program offers exclusive benefits to partners committed to developing talent at every stage. Partnering businesses are empowered to both recruit workforce-ready students and advance the professional growth of their current team through continued education and professional development. 

“This program gives organizations a meaningful way to invest in their people while building relationships with the next generation of business leaders,” says Andrew DeGuire, Keyes Dean of the College of Business Administration. “By working alongside our industry partners, we’re preparing emerging talent to make immediate, purpose-driven impact.” 

The Marquette Business Partner Program provides organizations with exclusive recruiting benefits, such as access to Marquette Business’s top talent, increased on-campus visibility and early event opt-in for career fairs and networking events. Partners also enjoy tuition savings on top-ranked graduate level degrees, discounts on Executive Education and Professional Development courses, and access to student-led consulting projects. Explore eight employer benefits available to partners.  

The program will be driven by Kristin Nines, assistant dean of partnerships, planning and administration.  

“This program brings our students and business partners together in ways that create lasting value,” Nines says. “As the program evolves, we’re continually developing new opportunities for collaboration, applied learning and talent development that benefit our students, our partners and the greater Milwaukee region.” 

Through access to top talent, lifelong learning and increased on-campus involvement, partner organizations gain a strategic advantage that improves recruitment, strengthens employee retention and accelerates business impact.
