Fashion Show – Suit up: From the Runway to the Office • Professionalism Session • October 22, 2024 • 2 to 3:15 p.m.
From Loretta Sanchez
The Business Week Experience is an annual event that offers students the opportunity to connect with and learn from top business and civic leaders.
Some highlights of the event include the La Quinta Keynote Lecture, moderated panels, and workshops. The Business Week Experience concludes with an awards ceremony that celebrates student, faculty and staff achievements.
This event is a longstanding tradition in the Greehey School of Business. It began in 1975 to connect the classroom to the business world under the guidance of Brother Paul Goelz, S.M., Ph.D., a beloved member of the Society of Mary and the San Antonio business community. Brother Goelz’s vision was to bring real-world leaders to our classrooms to share, not just their expertise, but also their passion for business and community.
While the Greehey School of Business continues to innovate and grow, we have always been committed to the program’s original mission of providing relevant and responsive education that focuses on developing business professionals who are skilled, ethical, globally aware, committed to responsible business practices and prepared for careers of meaning and purpose.
