Virtual Introduction

Meet Business Student Orgs

Strategic engagement beyond the classroom is an important part of your development as a student and professional. In addition to offering the opportunity to network, student organizations strengthen leadership skills, teach time management, and are a great way to build friendships.

UConn offers 400+ clubs and organizations, and there are 30+ student organizations and many University-sponsored programs that partner directly with the School of Business to help business students connect with each other. These opportunities are virtual this year, so let's get started!
