Ushering the Industry Into Your Classrooms – Creating High Impact Engagements<\/h2>\n

This presentation will cover the aspects that companies look for in academic institutions that make it viable for both the entities to enter into a partnership. The session would talk about certain templates or frameworks that have successfully helped drive engagement at course, program, school and university levels. Participants will receive information about how such partnerships were crafted and what are some of the opportunities that can be explored. Real cases will be used to illustrate programs already running at the University of Texas at Dallas, which is home to the largest in person Graduate Business Analytics program in the United States.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
