The core mission of public business schools has significantly expanded given the unprecedented challenges that we face today. Public Business schools, in particular, carry additional responsibilities for accessibility and equitable student success. They typically operate in a resource constrained environment and are charged to develop innovative approaches to build student learning experience and job skills while being a responsible steward of public resources. Towards that end, we discuss in this article some recent approaches to reimagining and reinvigorating the business student experience in the post pandemic era. In particular, we focus on cross-functional experiential learning, collaborative student mentoring, and teaching data science and analytics for business students, which are increasingly becoming more crucial across leading business schools.
