Giving Priorities
Supporting Student Financial Aid
- Engagement: Scholarships open the door for talented, driven students to fully engage in their education without the constant burden of financial stress.
- Innovation: By attracting and retaining a diverse pool of students, we bring new ideas, perspectives, and creativity into our classrooms and projects.
- Impact: Your gift empowers students to focus on learning and leadership, ultimately shaping graduates who are ready to make a difference in their communities and careers.
At the School of Business, we believe that every talented and motivated student deserves the opportunity to pursue a world-class education regardless of their financial circumstances. Yet, for many, the rising cost of higher education remains the single greatest barrier to achieving their goals.
Your gift to student financial aid makes a direct and lasting impact. By easing the burden of tuition and related expenses, you help ensure that bright, hard-working students can focus on their studies, participate fully in internships, leadership opportunities, and professional development, and graduate ready to make meaningful contributions in their communities and careers.
Scholarships and aid not only change individual lives—they strengthen the entire School. When financial obstacles are reduced, we can attract and retain top talent, foster diversity of thought and experience, and prepare the next generation of ethical, innovative business leaders.
Investing in Capital Projects
- Engagement: Modern classrooms, collaboration hubs, and upgraded technology foster dynamic, interactive learning and teamwork.
- Innovation: State-of-the-art spaces and tools mirror the environments students will encounter in the business world, preparing them to lead in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
- Impact: Your investment creates lasting improvements that strengthen the School, attract top faculty, and provide resources that benefit generations of students.
A business education is not just about what students learn, but where and how they learn it. Modern classrooms, state-of-the-art technology, and dynamic collaboration spaces are essential for preparing today’s students to thrive in tomorrow’s business world.
Your investment in capital projects—such as classroom renovations, technology enhancements, and the creation of innovative gathering and study spaces—directly shapes the student experience. Updated facilities foster interactive learning, encourage teamwork, and connect students with the tools they’ll use in their careers.
These projects go beyond bricks and mortar. They create an environment that reflects the excellence of our programs, attracts top faculty, and signals to students that their education is valued and supported.
By supporting capital improvements, you’re helping us provide the cutting-edge resources our students need to compete and succeed in a rapidly changing global marketplace.
Fueling Hands-On Learning Opportunities
- Engagement: Events such as networking receptions, etiquette dinners, expert panels, and pitch competitions connect students directly with business leaders and peers.
- Innovation: These experiences push students to apply their classroom knowledge in creative, real-world contexts, building confidence and adaptability.
- Impact: By supporting experiential learning, you help shape graduates who stand out—not just for what they know, but for how they lead, collaborate, and deliver results.
Business education extends far beyond the classroom. To truly prepare students for success, we must give them opportunities to practice their skills, build professional networks, and experience the business world in action.
Support for hands-on learning opportunities—such as networking events, expert speaker panels, etiquette dinners, case and pitch competitions, and professional development workshops—ensures that our students are not only learning theory but also applying it in real-world settings.
These experiences give students the confidence to present their ideas, the ability to engage with business leaders, and the professionalism to stand out in competitive job markets. They also cultivate leadership, collaboration, and critical thinking—the qualities that define outstanding business professionals.
By investing in these programs, you help our students bridge the gap between the classroom and the boardroom, preparing them to lead with skill, integrity, and vision.
