Why Every Student Should Join a Business Student Organization

"People create jobs. Don't chase jobs, chase people. Use your undergrad experience to learn the art of networking. Student organizations give you a great place to start." -Kelly Kennedy, Director of Transformative Learning Career Education

Engaging beyond the classroom is an important part of your development as a student and professional. In addition to offering the opportunity to network, student organizations strengthen leadership skills, teach time management, and are a great way to build friendships. UConn offers hundreds of clubs and organizations, including a number of Business organizations.
