LeBow College: At Your Service

As a student, Drexel’s LeBow College of Business led you from the classroom onto the first few rungs of the corporate ladder — or perhaps inspired you to start out on your own. As an alumnus/a, LeBow College remains at your service with many resources to add to your career toolkit including professional development, human capital, facilities and knowledge on demand; membership does have its privileges.

Alumni Council Newsletter Subcommittee Chair Chuck Sacco did not have to look far when searching for a new location for his company PhindMe, a provider of mobile-marketing solutions. He and business partner Doug Bellenger, COO of PhindMe, have relocated in LeBow’s Laurence A. Baiada Center for Entrepreneurship in Technology.

“Combining PhindMe’s recent debut with the power of the Baiada Center, this is a perfect place for us to rapidly take our business from launch to nationwide success,” said Bellenger.

Resources such as the Baiada Center make it easy for alumni to re-engage with LeBow College. Additionally, LeBow also offers professional development resources through its MBA Career Services office to enable alumni to strengthen their leadership skills.

“When I meet with students and alumni to coach them about how to manage their careers, I often hear, ‘How can I gain leadership skills in my current position?’” says Kay Ford, senior director of MBA Career Services. “They see their paths forward (i.e., upward) as stalled because they need to develop leadership skills within a set of responsibilities that doesn’t offer them.”

To recharge your career, MBA Career Services will assist you in developing an action plan and setting attainable goals through a performance review. If your company does not offer stretch or development assignments, MBACS recommends learning those skills outside of your current position, such as volunteering for a favorite not-for-profit.

And MBACS is always seeking volunteer mentors for current students and alumni. The mentors spend about an hour a month with a student or alumnus/a so the time commitment is doable for most working people. If you are interested, please call 215.895.6300.
