D'Artagnan Business Alliance
AN OUTREACH PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOLS
The D'Artagnan Business Alliance is a dynamic partnership between high schools and Xavier’s Williams College of Business. The partnership offers students unique opportunities to engage with college-level business education, faculty, and students, all while still in high school. Teachers can also benefit by gaining access to resources and training to enrich their curriculum.
Xavier's Business Alliance provides impactful experiences that empower students to explore careers, prepare for college, and build business knowledge and professional skills through engaging interactions that guide them toward meaningful, lifelong success.
Campus Discovery Tours
Explore our vibrant campus through personalized group visits that inspire and inform. Students will tour the business school, meet our expert faculty and current students, and discover the degrees, resources, and real-world learning opportunities designed to spark interest and help them succeed.
Each visit can be tailored to spotlight an area like entrepreneurial internships, student-run enterprises, the trading room and investment funds, real-world applications of business analytics, or topics you suggest. Along the way, students are encouraged to reflect on their goals and the opportunities available in order to make thoughtful, purpose-driven decisions about their futures.
Xavier Showcase Events
Give your students a front-row seat to the world of business at our flagship events. These dynamic experiences feature thought-provoking speakers from across industries, interactive discussions on real-world issues, and meaningful opportunities to connect with business professionals, and Xavier faculty and students.
