We are beginning the holiday season with lots of gratitude for all the support we received this year! A special thank you to B-School faculty and staff. Our growth and success would not be possible without their continued support.

Homecoming Recap
As always, B-School alumni and friends exceeded our expectations and helped us surpass our fundraising goals!
Even Hurricane Michael could not stop B-School alumni from coming out to network and meet the new dean. See photos from the event below and highlights on Instagram.

Guests who attended An Entrepreneur's Night Out, hosted by SBANA Historian Nichelle Joyner, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to network and pitch their business ideas to their peers. If you're interested in attending the next Entrepreneur's Night Out event, contact Nichelle Joyner here.
We ended Homecoming with a bang at Tailgate. All proceeds from our sold out drinks and B-School alumni t-shirts went directly to our General Scholarship Fund. A special shout out to SBANA member and Alumnus Ryan Dunn, owner of Basil Me for donating a portion of their sales at Tailgate to our scholarship fund. Check out photos from Tailgate below.
