Sophomore Youth Leadership Opportunity

SYLO 2021 is here!

The MBA Sophomore Youth Leadership Opportunity (SYLO) is a program designed to provide MBA Sophomores with an interactive leadership opportunity involving some of Nashville's most prominent business and civic leaders.

Traditionally, the two-day program begins with a dinner in MBA's Zimmerman Hall for all mentors, and the following day sophomores fan out across the city to shadow participating Nashville leaders. In the times of COVID-19, however, we are forced to rethink and replan!
