Business Week activities: September 16-19

Organizers at the Debbie and Jerry Ivy College of Business announce activities for Business Week 2024, an annual week of activities designed for Ivy College of Business students and students across campus who are interested in business as a major.

“We have added some amazing activities in the last couple of years, and we are bringing back our popular service project with Meals from the Heartland,” said Business Week Committee Chair Katie Minnihan, an academic advisor at Ivy. Minnihan works with a committee of students, staff, and faculty to organize activities.

During Business Week, students can take advantage of professional development opportunities, engage in a community service project, network with potential employers, and enjoy treats and fun around the Gerdin Business Building. Business Week events provide a wealth of knowledge and experiences for Ivy students and create opportunities for sponsors to network with prospective interns and future employees.
