Washington D.C. experience helps students prepare for roles in global energy market
Executives from Chevron North America Exploration and Production Company recently awarded a $5,000 grant in support of the Washington Campus program at the UNM’s ASM (ASM). Since its founding in 1978, 17 U.S. business schools have joined The Washington Campus consortium. As a member of the Washington Campus, UNM MBA students are offered a unique opportunity to study the intersection of business and the American public policy process.
MidContinent SB Land Managers Orval Baldwin and Charles Frisbie said Chevron’s support for the Washington Campus program helps them to encourage New Mexico business students to look outside of the state for career opportunities.
According to Frisbie, Chevron’s employees often work with state and federal regulators and government agencies, and the exposure to the federal government provided by the Washington Campus program helps Anderson students to work in that world
“Chevron has recruited from the Anderson for a number of years, said Ted Bouras, Anderson Career Services director. “Their executives tell us that our students have a great work ethic, and New Mexico is a natural recruiting ground for them as they look to expand their workforce.”
“Direct support of Anderson programs strengthens the educational experience for many students at once and allows the corporate donor to match their mission with our mission,” added Tori Hobbs, chief development officer for ASM.
The program provides UNM students an excellent opportunity to network and build a strong foundation for the future.
