Executives-in-Residence

Marymount's premiere location near the nation's capital affords the university the opportunity to work with selected senior officers of various multinational corporations and government agencies who serve as executives-in-residence for undergraduate and graduate business degree programs. These executives assist the faculty by acting as technical and teaching resources. They also act as mentors for students by providing information for career planning.
