School of Business Administration

Alumni and business professionals provide input and help direct the School of Business Administration through influential programs offered by the Business Advisory Council, the Alumni Leadership Committee, the Crotty Advisory Council, The Davis Center for Portfolio Management Council, and the MIS Advisory Board.

Alumni Leadership Committee

The Alumni Leadership Committee (ALC) consists of about 25 local area SBA alumni interested in helping the University of Dayton School of Business Administration reach its goal as a National Leader in Catholic Higher Business Education. These alumni come from a variety of industries and professional fields. They provide the School of Business Administration with advice and ideas that impact students at both the undergraduate and graduate level as well as programs aimed at the greater Dayton business community. 
 

Business Advisory Council

Meeting twice a year, the Business Advisory Council assists the dean and other School administration officials in continuously improving the quality of the School's programs, activities, and long-term strategy. On average, thirty people reside on the board, those of whom come from a wide range of professional and industrial backgrounds. 

Crotty Advisory Council

Meeting twice a year, the Crotty Advisory Council (CAC) assists the director and other entrepreneurship faculty members in continuously improving the quality of the entrepreneurship major as well as the Crotty Center's programs, activities, and long-term strategy. Council members are entrepreneurs or professionals holding high-level positions in the fields of business community development or business services. The activity of the CAC blends the best of academic thought and actual business practices.

The Davis Center for Portfolio Management

Members of this prestigious council guide the Davis Center for Portfolio Management, a learning environment representative of a Wall Street investment firm that is at the heart of UD's Vertically Integrated Investment Program, which includes a $6 million student-managed fund.

The purpose of the MIS Advisory Board is to support and extend the quality of both the management information systems program at the University of Dayton and information systems within interested organizations. To support this mission, the Board sponsors activities that involve interactions among managers/executives, information systems, professionals, faculty, and students.
