The impact of your gift

Your support of our business students is vital to their success and the School’s future. Areas in need include:

  • Launching New Center for Student Success: We are converting the entire seventh floor of Rockwell Hall into a new Center for Student Success (CSS).

Our new CSS will be an important driving force in transforming students into ethical business professionals who make a difference. In short, the CSS will be the ‘beating heart’ of our School, a welcoming place focused holistically on all of our students’ needs.
