Current Partners
The MLI’s partners help us advance marketing by sharing their wisdom and advice.
Our premier partnership levels are the External Advisory Board and Career-Affinity Groups.
External Advisory Board
Our External Advisory Board (EAB) is composed of companies leading the way in marketing. The board serves as the voice of the industry, helping to guide program curriculum updates, and teach students through applied learning and student mentorship. Restructuring of the EAB started Spring 2022. When complete, the board will have 20-30 companies.

Students, faculty, and practitioners come together and create community around their career niches.
