Mission

The Meis Professional Development Program assists in the coordination of Scott College of Business professional development initiatives. The Program both initiates activities and supports the activities proposed by faculty, by student organizations, classes, or other members of the ISU campus community. MPDP will serve all students in the Scott College of Business, coordinating with existing programs, including Networks programs and initiatives, to prepare ISU Scott College of Business students for careers in various business professions.

As a supplement to their academic preparation, the Meis Professional Development Program provides Scott College of Business students with tools to achieve professional excellence.
