In preparing slides for our New Student Orientation this year, I realized an important milestone: with the incoming 2024 cohort, we now have over 1,000 BYU Strategy Program alumni (1,104 to be exact). Though I wasn’t at Brigham Young University Marriott School of Business as a professor when the program was founded in 2007, what an amazing achievement! Kudos to Jeff Dyer, David Bryce, Paul C. Godfrey, and others who had the vision to establish and grow such a successful program.
From our first cohort of 35 students in Fall 2007 to our most recent class of 111, we’ve grown our cohort size by over 200% in the past 18 years. To support that growth, and based on student recommendations, we’re excited to announce our first-ever Strategy Career Fair on Wednesday, October 2nd, from 6-8 PM in the Hinckley Center Ballroom. We’ve already secured 10 companies but we're aiming for at least 20. We expect 160+ students to be in attendance.
If you’re a BYU Strategy alum and would like to see more of our students at your company, please share this post with your hiring manager. If you’re a hiring manager or recruiter and want more details, send me a DM, and I’ll connect you with our student team that is organizing the event.
