WELCOME As former US Army officers, MBA alumni of the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, and the co-founders of the MBA Veterans Network, it is our pleasure to extend an invitation to you and to your colleagues to both the 8th Annual MBA Veterans Career Conference and the inaugural UNDERGRADUVET-Z Career Conference.

While we will continue our commitment to excellence by hosting another exceptional MBA Veterans Career Conference, we are thrilled to be expanding our services by also hosting our first conference for military veteran students (non-ROTC) who are currently pursuing their undergraduate degrees. We’ll be hosting both events” backtoback” over a 3 day period (October15-17th), enabling your campus and diversity teams to maximize their recruiting efforts over a condensed period. Just as our MBA participation is limited to veterans who are enrolled at the Top-40 ranked MBA programs, the undergraduate candidate registration will exclusively be available to veterans representing the Top-100 National Universities (Michigan, Illinois, UVA, UNC-Chapel Hill, etc.), Top-50 National Liberal Arts Colleges (Kenyon, Denison, etc.), and the Top-25 regional universities (Rollins, Marquette, Santa Clara, etc.)..

The UNDERGRADUVET-Z CAREER CONFERENCE is a logical evolution for us and we’re excited about this year’s inaugural event. Many of our current partners have indicated that they wished that they had an easier way to reach more veteran undergraduates – so we decided to make it happen! We hope that you’ll consider it in addition to the MBA Veterans Career Conference and look forward to partnering again this year.

Please take a few minutes review this comprehensive brochure in detail and contact us directly with any questions. We look forward to collaborating with you this year and hope to connect with your team via phone to discuss this event soon. Early Registration is officially open!

Sincerely,

Dave Chonowski & Chris Petersen Dave Chonowski & Chris Petersen Co-founders, MBA Veterans Network

(NEW FOR 2015) PRE-CONFERENCE INDUSTRY/ FUNCTION WEBISODE (KIND OF LIKE TEDX): Your team films up to a 30-minute, HR/Veteran employee-led presentation providing a “Intro to X function/ industry” from the perspective of an veteran and/or recruiter familiar with veterans.

The webisode will be hosted on MBA Veterans Connect beginning on Day 1 of student registration (8/1). This is an awesome branding & coaching opportunity that will better prepare hundreds of candidates to interact with your team before the event: Examples include topics like “Intro to Brand Management,” “Intro to Investment Banking,” Intro to Wealth/Asset Management,” “MBA Rotational Programs 101,” “Tech jobs for MBAs”, etc.

(NEW FOR 2015) BEHAVIORAL & CASE INTERVIEW COACHING SESSION: Past sponsors have indicated that they’d like us to offer more “coaching” opportunities to help maximize industry knowledge and interview preparation (especially for the 1st years). This year, we will give you a chance to provide interview prep and coaching to attendees. This will help them with on-site interviews, interviews at your offices, and on campus post-event, enhance your brand, and give you a shot at helping your top- candidates on-site. There will be two levels of participation to this – Presentation Leaders and Mock Interview Leaders.

PRESENTATION LEADER: A great branding opportunity, your team will host a 45 minutes session with 60 attendees on “How to Interview for X function/industry.” Each session will focus on either the behavioral style or the case interview style.

MOCK INTERVIEW LEADER: Your company has one reserved table with 8 candidates and 2 reps. During a 60-75 minute session after the “how to case/behavioral interview” session, you will conduct mock interviews with the candidates at your table. 3 candidate spots will be exclusively reserved for your invitees and 5 will be open to any interested students.

(NEW FOR 2015) UNDERGRADUVET-Z™ CAREER CONFERENCE SPONSORSHIP: By request, we are adding a second, brand new conference to the event.

Since this the first year, we’re offering our 2015 MBA Veterans’ Sponsors a heavily discounted opportunity to connect with and recruit military veterans who are pursuing their undergraduate degrees at the top-ranked universities in the US. AVAILABILITY: 20 Sponsorships are available to MBA Veterans’ Sponsors at a flat rate of $5,500 (45% discount). Contact us if you’d like to expand your sponsorship level.
