THE VOICE OF BUSINESS STUDENTS
We are a group of undergraduate College of Business (COB) student leaders who serve as the voice of our peers. Our purpose is to empower COB students to have a say in determining their academic, social, and professional opportunities in the College of Business.
WHAT WE DO
Networking Events
We organize events such as Business Day, Donuts with the Dean, and Integrity Forum where students can network with business leaders.
COB Improvements
Every year, we ask students what improvements they want in the college and create or advocate for change.
Community Service
We organize the annual CANS Around the Oval COB Student Organization Competition and volunteer with local causes, such as Special Olympics.
OUR VALUES
Advocacy
We put students first, taking the time to thoroughly understand their needs and goals.
Empowerment
We collaborate with students to ensure they have the voice, information, and guidance needed to determine their experiences and opportunities.

We strive to create and nurture inclusive environments that equally value and affirm all members of the College of Business community, including their various identities, skills, ideas, talents, abilities, and contributions.
Innovation
We work with students and faculty to generate ideas and make continuous improvements in the college.
Integrity
We stand for what is just and right, and hold ourselves and the College of Business Community accountable to a high level of ethical standards.
