Dr. Hu, Dean of the School of Business, invites students to apply for a unique opportunity to join the Dean’s Student Circle—a small, hand-selected group that meets regularly for networking, mentorship, and leadership development. All business students are encouraged to apply. Selections will be based on the responses provided in the application. Leadership potential is demonstrated in many different ways, and we welcome a wide range of experiences and perspectives.
About the group
Each month, the Dean meets with business students over lunch. Alumni and members from the business community are invited to speak and the Dean facilitates the discussion. Students have the opportunity to hear from these professionals in an informal setting and ask questions as well as share their own experiences. The intention is for students to develop leadership skills and build a professional network with fellow members and speakers.
Requirements
- Commit to attending all lunch meetings in the academic year.
- Be willing to share personal experiences especially regarding challenges and opportunities.
- Be willing to engage with guest speakers.
- Be willing to represent the undergraduate student body (this may mean volunteering at events or being involved in other ways when requested).
- Undergraduate business students are eligible to continue as a member throughout their time in The School of Business as long as they meet the above requirements.
