Building a Community of Strategic Thinkers
Students in the EM Certificate come together throughout the year for a series of formal and informal community events, including networking events with industry leaders, a year-end gala, and a regular speaker series. They also participate in popular MIT Sloan clubs that connect them with other students with similar interests in the enterprise management field.

There are many opportunities for companies to connect with MIT Sloan and access the creative problem-solving skills and fresh perspectives of EM Certificate students. We welcome leading strategy, operations, and marketing executives to join us for our speaker series or to meet with students at a dinner or networking event. And we encourage companies to contact us to participate in the EM-Lab or the Management Practice Hack-a-thon, where student teams can help advance your thinking and work to solve one of your pressing business challenges.

Student Advisory Board
EM Certificate students are also welcome to join our Student Advisory Board, a group that contributes to the ongoing development of the certificate and its features. The members of the Student Advisory Board solicit feedback from current students to continue to develop and improve the certificate, interact with prospective students, and serve as student ambassadors, promoting the certificate around the School. The Community Building and Events Subcommittee focuses on building camaraderie among students and on planning engaging and informative events together with the business community.
Speaker Series
In the past, guest speakers have included executives from Amazon, Phillips Healthcare, McKinsey & Company, Capgemini Consulting, Bain & Company, and the Toyota Production System Support Center. These executives share their insights into lessons they’ve learned and problems they’ve solved by taking multidisciplinary approaches to business challenges and breaking out of company silos. They discuss their successes and failures and present instructive case studies that enhance students’ classroom learning and encourage them to think broadly about business problems.
