The New Accenture Leadership Center for undergraduate students provides unique opportunities for alumni to come back to campus.
Students tell us that one of the strongest qualities that brought them to the UW-Madison School of Business is the great network of alumni and their willingness to reach out and interact with current students. A group of alumni and friends from Accenture saw an opportunity to capitalize on this relationship, bringing the Accenture Leadership Center (ALC) to life the School of Business.
Wierzba “The ALC Center is an example of how our alumni can make a significant impact on the students. We didn’t wait to be asked, but saw an opportunity to reach out and ran with it. I would encourage others to think creatively and make a difference.”
Concentrating on the development and implementation of leadership skills, the ALC offers hands-on workshops, ongoing mentoring and leadership coaching, an intensive immersion program for analyzing and enhancing leadership styles and more to students in the business, pre-business or engineering fields. These programs provide many opportunities for alumni to come back to campus and share their expertise and insight.
Wisconsin business alumni are invited to participate in the following ways:
• Coach and mentor students in the program.
• Guest Speaking
• Sponsor a student project for your organization
• Opportunities to recruit ALC-trained students to work at your company
