Dolan School of Business

The Charles F. Dolan School of Business (or the Dolan School of Business) is the graduate and undergraduate business school of Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut. The school is named after Charles F. Dolan, H'04, founder of HBO, Chairman of Cablevision Systems Corporation and Fairfield University trustee, in recognition of his $25 million donation in 2000. The Dolan School of Business claims a commitment to the Jesuit tradition of educating the "whole" person to be a socially responsible professional, who is prepared to serve others. Its graduate and undergraduate programs are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

History

The Dolan School of Business finds its roots in the Department of Business established in 1947 within the College of Arts and Sciences at Fairfield University.

Approach to Dolan School of Business

In 2012, the school established its Entrepreneur In Residence Program designed to bring entrepreneurs to the school for a one-year term to share their experiences starting a business. In 2013, the school, in partnership with the Economic Development Department of the Town of Fairfield and Kleban Properties, established the Fairfield Accelerator and Mentor Enterprise (FAME), a business incubator for local entrepreneurs located in downtown Fairfield.^[1]

Fairfield StartUp

Fairfield StartUp is a yearly program of events designed to assist young entrepreneurs in the creation of their own businesses. The program connects these students with mentors and Fairfield alumni who are already established in the worlds of business, finance and engineering to guide them through the ups and downs of creating a business and pitching it to potential investors. The program culminates each year at the StartUp Showcase, where students negotiate live with investors for seed money to start their businesses.^[2]
