Student Outreach

At FBDC we believe in using our skills to benefit the community we have all learned to call home: The Bronx. When you join FBDC as a student, you become a Research/Business Analyst. As an Analyst, you take part in team training and focus on creating informational material for our clients. You have the chance to get your work highlighted on our Social Media pages and published on our website. From there, you have the ability to move up within our organization, working with clients and leading projects.

We have weekly, virtual team meetings as well as monthly general team meetings to bring our entire staff together. Staff members are expected to attend a majority of team meetings and contribute to our team Resource Reports. We also host speaking events, alumni panels, and webinars for our staff that we encourage all to attend.

Despite being virtual due to the pandemic, the FBDC strives to foster a welcoming and warm environment. We hope to bring together a diverse set of students passionate about helping others and making valuable connections. We plan to build our community through our weekly meetings, virtual programming, and training sessions.

The Operational Team at FBDC handles internal and external communication, outreach to clients and alumni, and engagement with the Fordham community. Their main responsibility is to ensure that the Fordham Business Development Collaboratory has a strong network of capable individuals that can best assist our clients in all of their needs. Members have the opportunity to take on these internal roles alongside their client-facing team or as their primary focus. For interest in any of these roles, please email fbdc@fordham.edu with the subject line “Interest in Operations Team.” We hope you join us to make sure the FBDC has a lasting impact!
