“It has been wonderful to hear how colleagues are addressing similar issues; similar trends our alumni are facing and the consistent need for innovation to increase student engagement. It has been so powerful to hear the hiring needs and obstacles of employers and discover ways we can continue to collaborate on programming and initiatives.” - Kecia Hansard, American University Kogod School of Business
“The roots of our organization grew from a common desire to standardize how MBA programs tracked and reported employment data. Twenty years later, the MBA CSEA has evolved into a dynamic professional organization, while keeping focused on the core values of our founders through the Standards”.-Steven Rakas, Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon
"Often when I am trying to advocate for more staffing or budget. I have referred to the information in the Career Services benchmarking surveys to help me make the case to university leaders. When sharing industry norms or explaining why certain industries thrived while others didn't, the recruiting trends survey helps me explain hiring trends and creates a bigger story for incoming students, current students, and university leadership." - Maggie Tomas, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota
"Through a confidential consultation, school’s participating in AUP receive valuable input (and assurance) on the effectiveness and accuracy of their current processes.  Furthermore, MBA CSEA AUP participation helps to instill trust and confidence in a school’s public reports on its MBA employment outcomes"- Paul Poissant, Penn State University
