Programs


The Case Competition is one of the premier annual events hosted by the Kogod School of Business for graduate and undergraduate students. Case competitions are an excellent opportunity for students to sharpen their communication skills, case analysis, presentation style, and problem-solving techniques. Students work in teams to analyze a business case and present their findings to area business leaders and alumni who serve as judges.

The 1955 Club provides undergraduate students with meaningful opportunities to develop leadership skills through an annual leadership retreat. The organization emphasizes personal responsibility, integrity, and professional development. The 1955 Club has two groups: Kogod Envoys serve as program ambassadors, and Peer Mentors provide support to first year student programming.

The Washington Initiative is a service learning program that provides Kogod undergraduates with volunteer opportunities to work on substantial business projects at local non-profits and charitable agencies while earning academic credit. The program challenges students to examine their beliefs and values about business, ethics, and civic responsibility by applying business practices to the community’s needs.

The Road Scholars program exposes undergraduate students to the study of business and industry through organized study and travel to a different destination each year. Through site visits, networking events, and workshops, students experience diverse industries firsthand.

The Making a Difference is Our Business program coordinates projects each semester to provide graduate students with the opportunity to work with fellow students on service projects.
