John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation

The John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation gives students more than a place to study business — it gives them a place to lead, connect and launch their futures. Through student organizations, innovation experiences, pitch competitions, networking events and professional development opportunities, students build relationships with peers, alumni, employers and community leaders while gaining practical skills that strengthen classroom learning. Whether students are interested in marketing, finance, accounting, sales, human resources, information technology, entrepreneurship or leadership, there is a student organization or experience designed to help them get involved, grow their confidence and prepare for career success. Every business student is encouraged to join at least one professionally focused organization and take advantage of the many ways the Neff College connects talent with opportunity.
