The School of Business offers ample opportunities for students to participate in organizations that enrich their academic experience. Student clubs generally have an academic area of focus, but also offer leadership, professional networking, and social opportunities. While each group has a faculty advisor, the clubs are student led.

Several of the clubs organize trips to visit companies and organizations within their industry. Students get to experience a snapshot of life in the real-world and meet professionals in their future field. All of the clubs have bulletin boards along the main first floor business hallway in Hartwell, so check them frequently for information on meeting schedules and upcoming events.

The Network
The Network is a student-directed organization that seeks to help students establish and build their professional network, regardless of major. Through its meetings, events, and activities, the Network seeks to network business students to each other, other campus constituencies, local business professionals and organizations, alumni, and the community at large. We are particularly interested in helping transfer and commuting students connect with the broader campus community. Active members of the Network have myriad opportunities to develop or enhance their leadership and community service profiles; this helps students build a competitive resume. Interested students should send an email to networkclub@brockport.edu to receive information about upcoming meetings and events.
Women in Business Association
The Women in Business Association is designed to support, encourage and inspire women with an interest in business. The group provides opportunities to explore programs and careers in business and offers valuable skill building and career related events. Our goal is for students to build long-lasting networks among peers and linkages to the business community, and we plan to purposefully give back to our community. This association is intended to serve a diverse population and is open to any and all students who have a genuine interest in succeeding in business.
