“We’re committed to actively listening to feedback from our students on their educational journey, providing greater opportunities for connections, and working together to enhance the student experience,” said Dr. Rachel Vigness, Director of Student Success and Communications and Associate Professor of the Practice.

As CBSC members, they will serve as a voice for more than 7,000 business students. “I believe that all persons involved in an organization deserve to have a fair representation in an organization to have their voices heard,” said Zaffuto.

Their first assignment is to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the college’s business majors, faculty, and student body. From there, they will create student organizations and events, network with alumni and industry partners, and act as a liaison between College of Business students, faculty, and administration.

“We look forward to the contributions of the council as we work together to advance Student Success in the Worldwide College of Business,” said Dr. Maneesh Sharma, Dean. “These student leaders will play a critical role in shaping and carrying out the council’s purpose - foremost of which is to serve as a link between the College of Business leadership team and our students.”

To this end, the CBSC was founded on three principal objectives:

  • Bridge collaboration between the college’s students and personnel
  • Enhance services that facilitate student success build affinity with the college.
  • Promote networking and leadership opportunities for business students.

CBSC members can serve up to two years as long as they remain active students and meet qualifications. During the selection process they all had one main goal in mind: to make a positive impact.

“I want to be able to make a difference in the lives of fellow students and enhance the remote learning experience,” said Charnes.
