Education Club
The Education Club engages Stanford business and education school students in discussion about education issues, their role in education, and business' role in education.
Education tops many political and social agendas today, and there has been a growing interest in the private sector on the business of education. The club grew out of the 1994-95 Public Management Initiative on Education.
The Education Club focuses on four broad areas:
- Building community and increasing knowledge among GSB and Ed students interested in education
- Assisting GSB students with exploration of education careers
- Providing practical information for MBA/ MA Education dual-degree candidates
- Facilitating volunteer opportunities in education at local schools and non-profits.
Last year, the Education Club organized a dinner discussion series on topics such as charter schools and teacher education; hosted a school reform panel; connected students interested in education and business for networking purposes; supported the dual MBA/MA Education program; and welcomed prominent speakers to campus.
This year the Education Club looks forward to further strengthening ties between the Education and Business schools and to increasing students' awareness of the education industry. We welcome any ideas for events this year, and would especially encourage first years to get involved.
