Knauss School of Business Centers and Institutes
Your VIP pass to skills and connections.
The world needs more globally-minded leaders. Ethical thinkers. And socially-conscious change agents. In short — the world needs you. Because the world is our business, we want to send you out with the broadest perspective — and proficiency — on the most up-to-date issues and trends in the business industry.
Through faculty research and partnerships with industry leaders, our centers and institutes educate and equip students and alumni on issues that remain at the forefront of business education. Think of it as a VIP pass to in-demand skills and a step closer to your dream career.
From hands-on workshops to networking events, you will come home with the latest thought leadership, skills and practical applications you can apply to your career. And that industry leader at your round table? Talk about an opportunity to get an insider perspective — or the introduction of a lifetime.
