Applications are now open for the new Silicon Valley Executive Presence Program. Refine your professional communication skills and engage with Silicon Valley professionals to prepare for your internship and career experiences. Generously sponsored by the SCU Board of Regents, this program occurs every quarter. Topics covered include communicating with confidence in professional settings and strategies for navigating recruiting/networking events. Participants will practice these skills over lunch with executives. Participants will attend two seminars and two lunches during the quarter. 

Accounting major Swathi Giri '27 shares: “I found the executive lunch session incredibly valuable because it was interesting to learn about the speaker's unique leadership experiences in her company. I found it inspiring how impactful her Santa Clara experience was in her career and the framework Santa Clara gave to her amazing career. In the executive lunch session, I was able to create new short term and long-term professional goals through the guidance of the speaker!”

The program has limited spots and is open to business sophomores, juniors, and seniors. To apply, please complete this application by April 3rd at 11:59 pm. For more information, contact ugbprograms@scu.edu. Here is a link to our past speakers and an article on what executive presence is!
