Mission Statement
The Undergraduate Programs team at the Villanova School of Business, comprised of the Clay Center and O’Donnell Center for Professional Development, supports the holistic journey of the students we serve. We accomplish this by aligning students’ academic experiences and discernment of professional goals delivered through a comprehensive suite of services to include:

  • Helping students navigate the institutional resources to support their undergraduate milestones through academic, personal, and professional development.
  • Administering the undergraduate curriculum and ensuring policy and degree compliance, and record integrity.
  • Providing developmental and holistic academic advising designed to empower students in achieving their aspirations.
  • Delivering career and professional development opportunities promoting the design and attainment of our students’ goals from orientation through graduation and beyond.
  • Creating networks and opportunities designed to bring Villanovans, friends of Villanova, and partners together to advance the VSB mission.

The Clay Center at VSB
The Clay Center at VSB, named in honor of VSB alumnus, faculty member and Dean Emeritus Alvin A. Clay, is a “one-stop-shop” resource where all academic support and informational resources are available to help undergraduate business students reach their goals. The Center is home to the Charlotte and James O'Donnell '63 Center for Professional Development. These resources help business students to explore and develop their educational and career goals, and to successfully apply their unique talents and knowledge to become a lifelong learner and socially-responsible member of the global business community.

The O'Donnell Center for Professional Development
The Charlotte and James V. O’Donnell ’63 Center for Professional Development provides career-related services and initiatives designed to enrich business students’ academic experience and support pursuit of professional goals. Through the Center students have opportunities to learn about themselves, career paths, and the business world by engaging with practitioners and applying what is learned in the classroom to the real world. The O’Donnell Center helps to drive the Backpack-to-Briefcase curriculum, provides professional development coaching, coordinates experiential education initiatives, manages the VSB Mentor Program, and works closely with VSB faculty, Centers of Excellence, business societies, and the Villanova Career Center to offer career education and employer programs that help students explore areas of interest and prepare for the business world.
