The Lutgert College of Business recently hosted “Life in Lutgert”, a business networking event that served as an opportunity for students to network, discover opportunities for involvement, learn about campus resources and explore opportunities within the college.

The event was made possible through collaboration between college and campus partners, including Dean Chris Westley, faculty, department chairs, advisors, the Career Services team and others, who came out to talk and connect with students and show them what life in Lutgert is all about.
