The purpose of the MBA Student Association is to help the MBA students at Clemson University succeed in academics and in their professional lives after school. With students from across the country and around the world, the MBASA takes an active role in helping all MBA students adapt to life at Clemson University and the Upstate of South Carolina.
With students taking classes on campus and at the University Center in Greenville, the MBASA feels that it is extremely important to hold social and networking events so that each and every student and faculty member can get acquainted with one another. Strong relationships amongst the students and faculty members serve to better our students while they are in school and down the road, long after they have graduated.
For the past two years, Clemson has been selected, along with some of the most respected MBA schools in the country, to participate in the Duke University MBA Olympics to raise money for the North Carolina Special Olympics.
The Duke MBA Games give some of our students the opportunity to engage in friendly competitions with students from other schools across the nation. At the same time, these students are helping to raise money for a great cause. At the 2008 Duke MBA Games, Clemson raised nearly $3,000; the largest donation of all the schools that participated. As social stewardship is becoming more and more important in corporations, it is critical that our students are involved in as many philanthropic and fundraising events as possible.
