Crummer-YPO Partnership
Elevating Leadership Together
At the intersection of history, leadership, and education, Crummer Graduate School of Business and the Orlando Chapter of Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO) & YPO Gold are forging a partnership that redefines executive education. With the legacy of Ray Hickok, YPO’s distinguished founder and Rollins alumnus, as the foundation, this collaboration will create dynamic opportunities for leaders and learners alike.
A Legacy of Leadership, A Future of Opportunity
Building on YPO’s global network of influential business leaders and Crummer’s deep commitment to cultivating leadership, this partnership will catalyze new educational experiences that transcend borders and industries. Together, we will unlock a new era of transformational leadership programs, designed to prepare executives for the challenges of tomorrow.
Key Highlights of the Partnership
From local leadership seminars to national and global summits, this partnership will offer an ongoing series of workshops and events aimed at elevating executive decision-making, governance, and leadership. YPO members and Crummer students will have exclusive access to immersive learning experiences, designed to sharpen their skills and expand their networks.
YPO leaders will mentor Crummer MBA students, offering unparalleled professional guidance, while internships and job placements within YPO member companies will provide real-world leadership experience. This mentorship extends into guest lectures and opportunities for YPO executives to serve as
adjunct professors or executives-in-residence, further enriching Crummer’s learning environment.
This partnership will create a unique annual leadership summit hosted at Rollins College. The summit will bring together top-tier leaders from YPO’s global chapters and Crummer’s faculty to explore critical business topics, from AI innovation to global market trends. The partnership will also design specialized programs for YPO members’ families, similar to Harvard’s YPO Teen Program, fostering leadership across generations.
Through this partnership, Crummer MBA students and YPO members will gain access to an expansive global leadership network. Together, they will participate in high impact collaborations that stretch across industries and borders, ensuring that both groups remain at the forefront of business innovation.
Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders
The Crummer-YPO partnership is not just a collaboration—it’s a
movement to reshape executive education. Through ongoing
workshops, summits, and special programs, Crummer and YPO will
redefine what it means to be a global leader in the 21st century. This
is where the future of leadership takes root, nourished by history and
driven by innovation.
