2026 Business Management Institute

August 2-5, 2026
University of California, Santa Barbara

Alumni Event BMI Faculty

 

This multi-day event, August 2–5, 2026 takes place at the University of California, Santa Barbara. It is designed to provide participants with a combination of courses on current issues, practical solutions, and personal development. To provide this broad perspective, each course you take may not be specifically related to your field, but it will give you a foundation for future opportunities. The WACUBO Business Management Institute is a career-building experience, not a skill-specific workshop. Our objectives are for you to:
  • Gain a broader perspective of higher education business administration
  • Discuss the latest issues and topics in higher education
  • Learn how other institutions deal with common issues across higher education
  • Develop professional relationships with colleagues from other institutions
  • Prepare for your next opportunity with courses on interviewing, negotiating and leadership

This signature professional development event has consistently earned top ratings from attendees, proving to be a can't-miss experience for growth and networking.
