In the College of Business and Economics (CBE), we’re learning together, meeting the opportunities and challenges of a competitive world and preparing our students to lead come graduation day. Our students are ready to succeed — and lead — come graduation day.
Give to one of two funds to ensure our students’ continued success.
CBE Student Success Fund
Much of CBE’s mission in education extends beyond the classroom. We believe that doing business is the best way to learn business and strive to make real world learning opportunities available to all students. Your gift to the Student Success Fund provides direct financing for these hands-on learning experiences and include:
- Student travel expenses to locations from Seattle to Washington, D.C. where they meet and visit leaders in both public and private sectors to learn, firsthand, the latest economics and business practices.
- Funding events including CBE Networking Night, an evening where students practice networking skills with corporate recruiters to help secure their first, post-degree employment position.
- Student travel expenses related to CBE’s Executive Shadow Program, an opportunity to meet, shadow and learn from leading industry executives across the Pacific Northwest over spring break.
- Funding CBE recruitment and retention internships to provide students the opportunity to gain business experience while supporting their college and ensuring we stay competitive.
Making a gift to the Student Success Fund today directly impacts student learning outside the classroom, fostering strong relationships across the college and industry while ensuring CBE graduates are employer-ready upon graduation. Thank you for giving.
CBE Dean's Excellence Fund
The Dean’s Excellence Fund is the college’s most flexible account and provides ongoing, annual support to close students’ financial aid gaps, target specific CBE priorities and fund high-need areas within the college. Your gift to the Dean’s Excellence Fund will:
- Close the unmet financial needs of students, which average nearly $4,500 annually. CBE awards almost $1 million in scholarships to ensure money is not a barrier to entry or graduation for business students.
- Provide resources to fund facility upgrades to ensure CBE students are adept users of the latest technologies in business at graduation.
- Increase CBE’s ability to recruit and maintain high-quality faculty and students by funding ongoing education for faculty and college marketing campaigns.
Making a gift to the Dean’s Excellence Fund today impact’s CBE’s ability to close students’ financial aid gaps, keep students on pace with technological advances and continue recruiting future Vandals. Thank you for giving.
