If you would like to make a gift to a specific Barney School of Business fund review the list below. Each fund has a description of how your generosity will be used to help our students and faculty.
It’s time for the Barney School's next evolutionary step: providing students with facilities to match the high quality of its programs. A project is underway to add 10,000 square feet of space to Auerbach Hall and renovate 1,300 square feet to create a state-of-the-art, high-tech learning environment. This new addition to Auerbach Hall will position the Barney School—and its students—for greater success in a fast-moving, fiercely competitive world.
During the year strategic needs are identified that support student, faculty and staff development. This fund help support our Career Ready programming and provides seed funding for the development of new initiatives. Recent examples include providing all Barney School students with 52-week access to the Wall Street Journal, transportation for corporate visits, recognition events for high-performing students, and faculty curriculum innovation grants.
Beta Gamma Sigma recognizes the outstanding academic achievement of our finest business student scholars. To join this AACSB International sponsored society requires the students be in the top 7% of the junior class, top 10% of the senior class, or top 20% of graduate students. Each year we strive to increase the number of students who join BGS. Support for this fund will help us to more appropriately recognize the achievement and academic excellence of our students, and promote activities that will engage BGS graduates in our local, regional, and international community.
