Professionalism Program
Gifts to this priority will help our undergraduate students in the Professionalism Program. Through this required program, students explore careers and career-related topics, engage with career advisors, complete an internship, and earn general and major-specific skills certifications and experiences. Supporting this initiative will help expand and enrich professional development programming, as well as provide funding for internship scholarships.
Faculty Research Initiatives
A gift to this priority supports efforts to retain and recognize our talented faculty. KU School of Business professors regularly publish in leading academic journals and serve as experts for journalists and organizations. Supporting research initiatives expands opportunities for our faculty to pursue their research agendas, strengthening the stature and impact of the School of Business.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Initiatives
Giving to DEIB initiatives will support current and future student programming. The KU School of Business is committed to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusivity. Current programming includes the Multicultural Business Scholars Program and the Summer Venture in Business program. Following the recent hiring of three additional DEIB staff positions, the school aims to grow existing programs and develop new initiatives that will continue to support the success of underrepresented students.
School of Business Greatest Need
Unrestricted gifts to the KU School of Business provide flexibility for the school to address immediate needs or take advantages of opportunities that arise throughout the academic year. This might include support toward activities that enhance the student experience, programming to engage alumni or industry partners, or funding to enhance the technology in Capitol Federal Hall.
