Global Business Living-Learning Community

Explore the increasingly globalized world of business!

The Global Business Living-Learning Community (GBLLC) gives first-year business students the opportunity to learn, explore, and live in a residence hall community built around the globalizing world of business. Activities and events are planned around professional development, cultural development and seeing business in practice.

"I really enjoyed my time in the Global Business Learning Community. Looking back, it opened many doors and led me to priceless opportunities that I would not have had access to. Being in a learning community gives you many more opportunities right at your door."
