Guidance from experienced and visionary industry leaders helps the College of Business equip students with the skills they need to excel in their careers. Meet Eric Roberts, a member of both the Dean's Advisory Council and the Husky family, who illustrates how real-world networking and frank feedback fuel success.
"My primary passion is ensuring the curriculum and student focus remain aligned with the needs of industry," says Roberts. "I agreed to serve on the advisory council because I believe so strongly in the value of Michigan Tech. While my degree is in mechanical engineering, I've spent the majority of my career on the business side of technology."
Roberts, who graduated in 1993 and went on to earn his MBA in finance from DePaul's Kellstadt School of Business in 2001, brings more than 30 years of experience in technology-based leadership to his role on the advisory council.
