Today’s global and competitive job market demands that schools of business prepare their students to be dynamic leaders, great communicators, skilled collaborators, and bold visionaries. Active and engaged learning starts in the classroom but students must continuously sharpen and practice these skills.
In the Farmer School, student organizations provide the perfect place where students can lead teams, communicate with members and problem-solve. FSB challenges our students to actively participate in one of our over 40 organizations, including 5 co-ed fraternities and 2 honorary societies. Employers expect students to be actively engaged in student organizations and extra-curricular activities. In fact, many organizations host employer functions and activities specifically for and with our clubs!
We believe that we gain valuable life skills learning, living and working with people with different cultures, viewpoints and lifestyles. As our students graduate and join an increasingly global workforce, this appreciation for individuals as individuals will better equip them to succeed and will create new communities that celebrate diversity.
Farmer students may meet with a member of the BSAC to discuss topics such as:
Office hours will be 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. every other Friday in FSB 2041.
Launching your own student organization is an exciting opportunity to create a vibrant community dedicated to a shared passion or cause, fostering personal growth, and leaving a lasting impact on your campus.
