Schools whose employer lists name Nike
Not on the list at
UVA Darden, Cornell Johnson, Carnegie Mellon Tepper, UNC Kenan-Flagler, Georgetown McDonough, Vanderbilt Owen, Emory Goizueta, Minnesota Carlson. A gap means the school did not print the name for those classes, which is not proof it never hires there: some schools publish only companies that hired several graduates, and a few publish a hand-picked selection.
