New Term - New Goals- New Accomplishments |
Welcome to Spring 2023 term from the College of Business at Governors State University!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready for new opportunities and challenges the new year brings!
In Fall 2022, COB faculty, staff and students had many great accomplishments that are worth celebration! COB earned full extension of its AACSB accreditation, the hallmark of quality business programs shared by less than 6% of business schools around the world. As an AACSB accredited business school, the COB at GSU strives to continuously improve its programs and curriculum, and provide the knowledge, skills, and competencies our students need to succeed in the ever-changing global market.
Preparing our students for a successful career is one of our major focuses. I am glad to report that the third annual COB Internship and Career Fair, held on campus on November 10, 2022, was a great success! Twenty five employers attended the event to meet with COB students and alumni and share employment opportunities at their companies. Many students were invited for formal interviews after the event and several were hired as part-time or full-time employees already!
In Spring 2023, we will continue to implement our Strategy 2025, while transitioning to the 2020 AACSB accreditation standards. One of the major initiatives COB will focus on this year, is to enhance its societal impact by focusing on three selected UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs): Quality Education (Goal 4), Industry Innovation, Workforce Development, Economic Growth and Sustainability (Goals 8 & 9), and Reducing Inequalities (Goal 10).

Governors State University, College of Business is excited to announce Business Week 2023. This interactive and informative event offers engaging professional networking and learning opportunities to the college’s key stakeholders - businesses, students, alumni, and the community. Join us on April 27, 2023, at Governors State University, Engbretson Hall, for cocktails, dinner, and conversation with Jeremy Joyce, owner of Black People Eats, LLC.
Jeremy owns Black People Eats, LLC, a digital advertising company that promotes black-owned food and beverage businesses. He highlights these companies through food reviews, videos/pictures, and his black restaurant directory ( www.blackpeopleeats.com). His team's primary focus is on black-owned establishments only because they want to serve as a platform that gives black-owned food businesses a global voice. Once he realized how black restaurants were not promoted as much as they should be on other media platforms, he wanted to be the catalyst for change. This event will have something for everyone and is not to be missed.
Tickets are required.
