MBA Association

An advocacy group for MBA students

The Warrington College of Business MBA Association is a student-run organization that brings the Warrington collective together — current students, alumni, and the greater Gainesville area. Its goal is to build intentional communities within each of these pockets.

MBA Association membership is open to all and connects, enriches, and celebrates the MBA journey. The organization encourages students to get involved, be it through event attendance, participation, or organization.

Programs and services

Members of the association oversee governance of programming which includes professional development, networking — among peers, alumni, and community stakeholders — philanthropy, student wellness, and key social events.

The MBA Association has provided me with a wonderful sense of community . . . our journey as MBA students requires balance and it’s great to have an organization that supports many different areas. I am excited to help drive the program forward to continue to provide MBA students with the best experience possible.
