Student Hosting

The Partners in Business Student Hosting Program provides students with opportunities to meet with top executives and speakers during each of the seven seminars. Student hosts act as representatives of Partners in Business to ensure that each speaker’s needs are met while they are a guest at Utah State University. By interacting with speakers and attendees on a personal basis, students are able to build a career network and make valuable contacts with prospective employers.

Benefits of Being a Student Host:

• Interact one-on-one with the speaker of your choice
• Network with area business professionals and top executives from around the country
• Attend luncheon for speakers and attendees the day your speaker presents
• Learn from industry leaders

Student Host Responsibilities:

• Attend a student host meeting which is held two weeks prior to the seminar
• Act as a host to your speaker by ensuring that your speaker feels comfortable and welcome on our campus
• Attend the session where your speaker is presenting
• Provide transportation to and from the Salt Lake City International Airport, if needed

Students who host speakers can substitute three Partner’s sessions for each speaker hosted for the BUS 3250 course. For example, a student may be a student host twice and then they would only have to submit only one report plus the three from the Dean’s convocation. You can sign up to become a student host in the basement of the Junction, Room 20 or contact the individual seminar coordinator. Student hosts have an invaluable experience because they can network one on one with the speaker and get possible job contacts.

Student hosts are expected to act and dress in a professional manner as they are acting as representatives of Partners in Business, the School of Business, and Utah State University.

If you would like to be a student host for a particular seminar, please contact the individual seminar coordinator at 435-797-2279.
