At the Mike Ilitch School of Business, we seek to elevate our students' talent and provide the resources needed to persist from our classrooms to careers by centralizing many student resources to create a robust system of support. The SEAL Lab will be a dedicated resource hub that provides opportunities for students to level up their skills and compete with graduates from any top business school. By focusing on skill development, international engagement, career readiness and increased student support, the Ilitch School is shaping the future of business in Detroit. The majority of our graduates stay in Michigan, contributing to the local workforce and growing the state’s economy.
Multicultural Professional Readiness Educational Program (MPREP)
- Ready! Set! Give! Once 25 gifts are made to the Multicultural Professional Readiness Education Program (MPREP), a $25,000 gift from Lottie Holland, M.B.A. ‘06 will be unlocked!
Our Multicultural Professional Readiness Educational Program, or MPREP, provides key support, encouragement, development, and experiential opportunities for first-generation students of color who don’t have that person at home to lean on for educational support in the business world. MPREP builds students up to be the best during their time at the Ilitch School of Business through three pillars: Academic Accountability; Industry Exposure; and Mentorship. MPREP needs funding to not only impact more students across the board, but also increase the availability and accessibility of the experiences that the MPREP program has to offer. The opportunities are endless, and the impact is tremendous. I hope you will join us in this endeavor. If you’d like to learn more about the MPREP program, visit ilitchbusiness.wayne.edu/mprep. This is a truly dynamic program that serves the student population that needs our support.
