Gies Students

More than business. 
Business on purpose.

We prepare learners to approach business differently, with the goal of making a difference.

How do we do it? With intention. From the courses you complete to the events you attend and everything in between, we carefully design the Gies Business experience to help you explore your passions and see how you can use them to make an impact in your career.
