Through the Emmanuel Business Collaborative, students participate in original research, business competitions and incubator projects on campus, while also partnering with area businesses for internships, live case studies and mentorship programs.

For those looking to gain a hands-on approach to the ins and outs of running a business, the College’s student-run Cardinal’s Nest Café develops and executes all aspects of branding, marketing, inventory, budgeting and more, while also serving as a gathering and event space for study sessions—or study breaks.

The finance & analytics lab boasts high-performance workstations including Bloomberg terminals, which provide access to international news, real-time business data, and information on global markets.

There. Everywhere.

With all of the opportunities in Boston, do you really need to study abroad?

The reality is, the continued globalization of the world economy is presenting companies with new markets to infiltrate every day, and you are almost guaranteed to collaborate with partners and customers worldwide. The ability to work and communicate cross-culturally is significant. Emmanuel students gain insight and experience at leaders in global business, such as London, Berlin, Dublin, Shanghai, Paris, Bangkok, Barcelona, Rome and others.

ERIN UMLAUF ’20

In Emmanuel’s “History of Economic Thought,” economics major Erin learned about communism through reading others’ books and articles. During her semester abroad in a recently post-communist state, she was able to see firsthand how an economic system can shape society’s behavior, innovation and culture.

In fall 2019, Erin studied at the University of Economics in Prague, Czech Republic, through the Central and East European Studies program. She took courses in international relations, globalization and world politics and the Czech language, as well as an internship for elective credit.

She interned at the Consortium of Migrants Assisting Organizations, a collective of 18 NGOs working to solve problems related to migrants and refugees in Czech Republic. As the EU and International Political Analysis Intern, she consolidated news on migration policy and events, such as the impact of climate change on small island states, implications of Brexit and more, for a weekly newsletter. She also drafted papers for the organization’s website, which is used to inform the general public and provide contextual knowledge for policymakers shaping migration laws in the country.

“Economics is the study of how we make decisions about limited resources. All over the world, people are making different choices about different resources and getting different outcomes. Studying abroad has allowed me to think about problems in a new way and realize my options are far less limited than I thought.”

A Glimpse Curriculum INTO THE

SPORT LAW

How much should NCAA schools compensate student-athletes in the form of scholarships? Do sports video games and fantasy leagues overstep trademark or rights of publicity law? It’s no secret that there is big money in sports. The sports market (which includes ticket sales, sponsorships, media rights and merchandising) in North America alone is worth an estimated $73 billion (Statista, November 2019). Given the competitive nature of the industry and lucrative deals around multi-million-dollar payrolls, lawsuits are inevitable. This course offers a review of legislation and cases relating to professional and amateur athletics and athletes, sports events, sports merchandising, contracts, broadcasting and sponsorships.

BUSINESS ANALYTICS

Every action by a customer provides a valuable piece of information for many areas of business— from marketing and operations to human resources and finance. But how do we use this raw data to uncover trends and inefficiencies and transform it into actionable, decision making insights in order to remain competitive and better serve customers? Through project-based work with an emphasis on ethics and communication, you will learn the basic concepts surrounding big data as well as how to describe, visualize, predict and inform business decisions.

Kendrick Jean-Francois ’23

MAJOR: Accounting

INTERNSHIP: Accounting Intern, Samet & Company

Kendrick enrolled in Emmanuel after what he saw on the basketball court left a great impression, unaware the impact being a student-athlete would have on his professional journey.

“I went to see an Emmanuel game in high school. On paper, the other team was much better, but Emmanuel fought and pulled off the win,” he said. “This was the kind of team I wanted to play with.”

Kendrick describes himself as always “into numbers,” and that math was his favorite subject. He took an accounting course his junior year of high school and enjoyed it, but it wasn’t until he took a financial accounting course with Assistant Professor of Accounting Donna Marchand that “everything clicked.”

He landed an internship with Samet & Company, a Boston-based accounting, audit and tax services firm on recommendation from a teammate who had a positive experience interning with the company.

After his graduation this spring, Kendrick will join Samet & Company full time as an audit associate.

He’ll take with him his training from both the classroom and the court. “Being an athlete also taught me so many things,” he said. “I learned how to manage my time, how to work well with people, how to give and take constructive criticism, and how to work within a system and instead of working for a system.”

Getting Down Business

100% of students in the School of Business & Management complete at least one internship as part of the core curriculum, gaining real-world experience in the city of Boston. Our Leslie Ferrick McCafferty Career Center has a designated career community for Business & Management students with specialized recruiting opportunities and events to build your networking skills—and your résumé.

• Gain career insight and inspiration through alumni panels and networking events such as our Career Community Panels, in which alumni and industry professionals from top companies in financial services and technology, such as Fidelity Investments, IBM and Rapid 7 share insights into their careers and graduate school experiences.

• Meet dozens of top employers in one afternoon at our annual non-profit internship and career fair.

• Take advantage of our professional partnerships with regular offcampus events, such as the MSCPA (Massachusetts Society for Certified Professional Accountants) career fair and the CCCOB (College Career Centers of Boston) Communications and Marketing career fair.

• Get face time with recruiters through the McCafferty Career Center’s Industry Recruitment Series, in which recruiters meet with students “speed-dating style” to provide information about their organizations, culture, hiring timelines and application procedures.

• Seek on-campus resources such as our sport management mini-internships in the Athletics Department, which provide the opportunity to assist with game day operations and more prior to seeking an off-campus internship.

• And, most importantly, check in with your Career Advisor early and often— they are here to learn more about your individual skills and career goals.

Alaina Martin ’22

MAJORS: International Relations and Economics

AFTER GRADUATION: Associate, CliftonLarsonAllen

Alaina’s career aspiration is to apply economics to real-world problems at home and abroad through policy and urban development initiatives. The interdisciplinary double major understood the best way to identify the issues important to her was to gain as much realworld experience as possible during her time at Emmanuel.

She was able to take on an impressive five internships as an undergraduate, ranging from nonprofit organizations such as the United Nations Association of Greater Boston and the Borgen Project (which aims to address global poverty), to government agencies such as the U.S. Economic Development Administration, the Boston Planning & Development Agency and the Office of then-Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker.

On campus, Alaina also earned Distinction in the Field in both majors, presenting capstone projects on “The World Trade Organization: A case study of China and the U.S.” and “Building a Better Boston: Economic Policy Recommendations for the Infrastructure Bill.” She also served as president of Model United Nations.

Since graduation, Alaina has served as an Associate with CliftonLarsonAllen, a national professional services network that provides audit, tax and wealth advisory services across industries from education and health care to technology and government.

“All of my experiences have been extremely valuable, both in determining what I want to do and what wasn’t the best fit for me.”
