Even during these challenging financial times, we have chosen hope over fear. Each new semester brings hope and promise for our students, faculty and staff. Our students are bright, energetic and gifted individuals and I believe they will overcome any obstacles they might encounter and soon will make a name for themselves in the world. We strive to offer students the resources, experiences, and support they need for success as they explore their passions both in college and extracurricular activities. Our alumni not only offer support but act as stakeholders in the success of our students and the future successes of our graduates.
Some programs that might be of interest to you or your student are listed below. This is merely a short list of the numerous quality programs or courses we offer at the KU School of Business, check them out on our website at

Business Career Services Center
Spring Programming
The Business Career Services Center (BCSC) has prepared many events and programs this spring to assist your son or daughter with their internship or full-time job search. With the spring semester often being seniors' last chance to find full-time employment from on-campus resources, it is critical that students participate in these events and meet with our staff before graduation. Students searching for internships can also take advantage of the companies now arriving on campus looking to fill their summer positions.
