Clubs and Student Associations
Merage School students from all of our MBA programs participate in and help run a variety of
student clubs and organizations, as well as the Student Association. The clubs provide
students with many opportunities to network outside of the classroom by organizing on-site
company tours and visits, guest speaker networking events, and a multitude of other on and
off-campus activities.
The Merage Student Association organizes student-driven school-wide events, provides
valuable feedback, communicates directly with senior administration about the FEMBA
program, and helps to implement new policies and procedures that affect the entire program.
FEMBA students are encouraged to not only join student-run organizations and the Student
Association, but are also encouraged to run for officer positions.
The Clubs and the Student Association receive funding from the Merage School to help
organize activities and events for students.
The following is a sample of some of the Merage School
student-run clubs and organizations:
