Gies Students

More than business. 
Business on purpose.

We prepare learners to approach business differently, with the goal of making a difference.

How do we do it? With intention. From the courses you complete to the events you attend and everything in between, we carefully design the Gies Business experience to help you explore your passions and see how you can use them to make an impact in your career.

In a surprising twist to conventional wisdom, new research from Gies Business suggests that under certain conditions, companies striving to meet earnings expectations might become more efficient – and even more innovative.

Homecoming Campaign Celebration

If you haven't already done so, now is the time to register to join Gies Business and the Gies Business Alumni Association on campus during Homecoming weekend to celebrate the success of the With Illinois campaign. Both the university and Gies Business surpassed their campaign goals. At Gies, our very generous alumni and friends helped us raise more than $310 million!

We are excited to mark this achievement and the positive impact this level of generosity will have on students and the university for years to come.
