Sales Program Hosts 2026 Spring Sales Social
The Catholic University Sales Program hosted its Annual Spring Sales Social at Courthaus Social in Arlington, VA, bringing together more than 250 students, alumni, corporate partners, community members, and Busch School faculty and staff. With over 50 companies represented, including all of our Corporate Partners, it was a great night of real conversations and strong connections.
The Sales Program team was proud to host another successful event and recognize alumni, students, and employers for their commitment to the program this past year. The room was full, the energy was high, and it was clear how much this community continues to grow.
One of the biggest moments of the night came when Professor Mark Weber announced that he will be passing the torch of program leadership to Professor Mike Greaney as the next Director of the Sales Program. Professor Weber will continue doing what he loves most, teaching and mentoring students, while Professor Greaney steps into this role to lead the program forward.
There was also a special announcement for those who want to help shape the future of the Sales Program with the Narus Match. Now through April 30, every gift is matched, doubling its impact, and supporters are invited to commit to a gift of any amount each year over the four-year campaign to create consistent, long-term support for our students. As a thank you, those who commit will be invited to an exclusive summer gathering at the Webers’ river house each year of the campaign, which is a great reason to reconnect and make a trip back to the DMV.
