The 2015 College of Business Business Week, to be held February 23–26, offers engaging, authentic, and professional opportunities that enable students to interact closely with alumni, employers, and industry thought leaders as they develop essential soft skills and understandings required for success.

Leadership, corporate social responsibility, business etiquette, effective networking, goal setting, communication, and career management are among the topics addressed through the weeklong series of interactive events. Corporate and industry leaders interact with students, share specialized expertise, and explore important issues and cutting-edge developments.

Business Week allows speakers to address broader topics such as educational preparation, leadership, service, etiquette, networking, goal setting, and career advancement. Business Week is managed by a student led committee with guidance from professional staff in the College of Business.
