Our Mission
Summary

faculty, alumni, and business leaders. We will accomplish this vision by
sponsoring distinguished guest speakers, attending case competitions and a
Chicago financial district trip, initiating a creative fundraising event, and
planning a couple of social events. Students will also have a multitude of
leadership opportunities within the club.
