Executives in Residence
Each year the UC Davis Graduate School of Management invites a prominent executive to teach a quarter-long MBA course that reflects their management expertise. The Robert A. Fox Executive-in-Residence Program gives students and faculty a unique opportunity to work closely with a top business leader.
In addition to class lectures, the Executive-in-Residence invites other high-level executives to guest lecture in his or her class, and meet with students and the GSM community informally.
