Every year since 1960, the Gies College of Business family has met in Chicago to honor faculty and alumni achievements at the annual Spring Luncheon. Due to COVID-19 in-person restrictions, we are excited to continue the tradition virtually. The luncheon will recognize the recipients of the Excellence-in-Teaching Awards, the Gies College of Business Appreciation Award, and the Gies College of Business Distinguished Alumnus Award.
