Excellence Rewarded

The C. T. Bauer College of Business celebrated "the lifeblood" of the college this spring at the Bauer Student Organization Awards Ceremony. 

With nearly two dozen business student organizations, Bauer College annually presents outstanding groups and members with awards in group excellence, leadership and individual accomplishments.  

“I enjoy getting to know the students and the student organizations in Bauer,” Associate Dean for Undergraduate Business Programs Frank Kelley said. “You are the lifeblood of Bauer and really help create the future we are working to build. The impact each one of you, your officers and your members make is incredible.” 

Led by Program Manager for Undergraduate Student Organizations and Activities Jorge Arellano, the event also included awards presentations from various Bauer staff members, including Director of Student Success Whitney Johnson, Program Manager for Leadership Initiatives Celene Warren and Director of Alumni Relations Bria Johnson. 

“Student organizations are an integral part of what makes Bauer stand out among other top business schools,” Johnson said. “You all are what allows a new student at Bauer see themselves as a future business leader.”
