College of Business and Prospanica — The Association of Hispanic Professionals. The
new partnership aims to further the Gupta College of Business’ mission to prepare
students in a wide variety of management specialties, serving a range of industries.
“Prospanica’s commitment to empowering Hispanic business professionals to achieve their full potential aligns with our mission to prepare our students to become principled and moral leaders,” said Gupta College of Business Dean Brett J. L. Landry. “This partnership is a natural fit, and we look forward to welcoming Prospanica’s members into our classrooms."
Through this partnership, all Prospanica members will be eligible for special tuition benefits when they enroll at the University of Dallas. Benefits can be applied to undergraduate, graduate and continuing education programs in the Gupta College of Business’ Center for Executive Education.
“Prospanica strives to connect our membership to meaningful and transformative learning experiences,” said Thomas Savino, Prospanica CEO. “This partnership will offer both our student and professional members new opportunities to advance and thrive.”
Prospanica joins other university partners, including Southwest Airlines, Kroger, Michaels and CHRISTUS Health.

"Through our partnership, the Gupta College of Business will support Prospanica’s members in their pursuit of higher education."
