CBC
The College of Business Club (CBC) is designed to provide members with opportunities to develop leadership experiences; to provide exposure to business professions through presentations from guest speakers, both inside and outside the classroom; to provide a social organization for students to develop relationships with their peers as well as with prospective business partners and employers; and to relate what is learned in the classroom to the business world. The CBC consists of various committees that each have their own functions within the club; whether it be marketing, event planning, community outreach, programming, or professional development, each committee is determined to create events in which club members are able to excel within their fields of choice. The community outreach committee, for example, organizes a highway cleanup event each semester and also sponsors a food drive during the holidays, affording students in the club the opportunity to give back and to serve.
