Absolutely! We believe that all students have strategic leadership potential and invite all students at the U to join us.

Our events are planned by students OR with student feedback in mind, so they change year-to-year, and semester-to-semester based on what students would like to do, learn more about, or experience. In the past, we have held alumni-student socials, workshops on networking, and robust case competitions. If you are interested in attending an event, see our Students page or follow us on social media (@GoffSLC).
