Business Leadership and Experiential Learning - McDermond Student Groups

Explore business careers that interest you by participating in one of McDermond Center's student groups.  Gain real-world, hands-on experience as you work with business leaders on their company projects.  Learn skills, tools and resources necessary for working in this area of interest.  Network with successful alumni who are in that specific field.  Develop leadership acumen as you work with other members of the group to achieve goals. 

Early in the Fall semester each year, the McDermond Center hosts a panel program with leaders from each of the student groups so that students can learn more about how they can get involved in these groups early in their DePauw experience.
