Student Engagement
Our students, the next generation of business leaders, have the power to shape the future of business to be more responsible and sustainable.
The Responsible Business Center and the Gabelli School of Business are committed to equipping our students with the tools, skills, and knowledge necessary to become agents of positive change in their communities and workplace.
Participating in Responsible Business Center programming and initiatives will help to build your relationships with executives, researchers, policymakers, nonprofit staff, and fellow students who want to work together with you to make a difference.
We want to hear from you! If you are a Gabelli student interested in getting more involved with the Center, please contact Dr. Kate Kennon.
