The 2019 conference alone provided over 1,500 Huskies the opportunity to meet and learn from more than 106 business professionals.
You’ll have the opportunity to sharpen your skills in our specialized hubs for professional development like the Giuffre Center for Supply Chain Management, the Benner-Hudock Center for Financial Analysis, and the Professional Sales Lab. You’ll develop a competitive advantage as you participate in the Zeigler Institute for Professional Development (ZIPD). And you’ll do all this BEFORE an internship, MBA, or landing a job.
