From: Joe Grande Date: June 22 Subject: 2026 Summer Updates for Graduate Club Leaders: Training, Club Updates, and More!
Hello 2026-2027 Graduate Club Leaders,
I hope you're enjoying some well-deserved time to recharge this summer! If you’re receiving this email, it’s because you are registered as a graduate club leader for the 2026-2027 academic year for one or more clubs. Thank you for stepping into this role...your leadership plays a huge part in shaping the Questrom graduate experience.
As we prepare for the upcoming academic year, I wanted to share a few important updates and reminders for all Questrom graduate club leaders.
Whether you’re a returning club leader or new to your role, myself, the MBA Center, the QGC Executive Board, and your club advisor are all here to help. Reach out anytime with questions or if you’d like to talk through your plans for the new year.
Joe Grande
Associate Director of Community Engagement
We'll be holding a mandatory training to review updates, policies, and resources for the year ahead. Presidents and VPs of Finance from each club are required to attend the training to receive funding and participate in the Graduate Club Fair. Additional officers and advisors are encouraged to attend, once scheduled.
All registered club leaders should now have access to the Club Leadership group in Questrom Common. This is where you'll find important announcements, resources, the Club Leadership Handbook, and training materials. Please log in and confirm your access.
The Club Leadership Handbook is your go-to resource for everything you need to know about leading a club at Questrom. It includes guidance on budgeting, event planning, approvals, marketing, policies, and more. You can find the link to the handbook on the Club Leadership page of Questrom Common or by clicking here.
Now is the time to engage with your faculty/staff advisor, who will support you throughout the year. Talk with them about upcoming events, goals, and overall strategy for success. We are in the process of contacting the advisor listed on your re-registration to confirm their participation. If you do not know who your advisor is, please contact mbacenter@bu.edu.
All club events, on or off campus, require a minimum of 4 week lead time for approval, especially those involving alumni, speakers, purchases, catering, and/or tickets. Start thinking now about what events you'd like to host this fall. Early planning gives you the best chance of securing your preferred dates, spaces, and support. More info will be shared about this at the Club Leader Training.
Later this summer, you can expect to learn more about QGC provided funding for your club, additional budget requests, registration for the annual grad club fair, and more. Be sure to monitor your email throughout the summer.
And, join us on Wednesday, July 15 for our annual MBA Summer Networking Night. This event is open to all FTMBA, PTMBA, and MBA Alumni and faculty! We will also be welcoming out admitted MBA students which makes it a perfect opportunity to begin recruitment for your clubs.
