Graduate school recruiting

Andre asks: I sit on a Advisory Board for a upcoming school of business in the south. (School already has a top 25 medical program & and strong local business recruiting effort) I wanted to see how I could get other top firms around the country to consider recruiting at the School (It has a top accounting program and an Up and coming Finance Program - it is also known for attracting top minority talent)

In answer:
An excellent technique I've used is to identify alumni at different companies who can serve as advocates for your program. An internal champion can go a long way towards creating visibility for a school, much less providing internship and job opportunities to current students.

Good Luck!
