The University of Dallas has entered a collaboration between its Satish & Yasmin Gupta College of Business and Associa, a worldwide community management firm.

Collaborative efforts like this allow the college to advance its mission of preparing its students for management specialties in a wide variety of industries.

"Associa's core values, which include integrity, customer service and innovation, complement the university's mission to develop principled and moral leaders," Brett Landry, dean of the Gupta College of Business, said. "For 50 years, we have been providing community partners with high-quality, practical business education. With this partnership, we continue to expand our network of organizations who value what a real-world educational experience can bring to their workforce."

According to the terms of the collaborative agreement, Associa employees will be eligible for tuition benefits from the university.

"We are honored to partner with the University of Dallas and offer our employees the opportunity to continue their education at such a renowned and established institution," Todd Strosnider, Associa vice president of leadership and organization development, said. "Having earned my Master of Business Administration from UD, I can attest to the first-class level of the program and its marketability in the workforce."
