The annual Eccles Gala has become a cherished tradition and a highlight of the academic year for students at the David Eccles School of Business. The Gala stands out as a way to connect to fellow students, faculty, and alumni in an evening of celebration, networking, and community.

At the 11th annual Eccles Gala, Business Student Government (BSG) continued this tradition and welcomed the Eccles community for an unforgettable night. Attendees enjoyed food from Bryce’s Catering, drinks from Thirst, and cookies, along with a Polaroid photo booth to capture memories from the evening. Many students were able to explore majors, get advice from fellow students, connect with faculty one on one, and meet new friends.

“It was really helpful as a pre-business student to be able to talk to different faculty members and [learn about] their experiences teaching in the business school and what they look for in high-performing students!” – Gabriela Renteria, First Year Student Representative

The Eccles Gala has come to truly embody the values and mission of SG, creating a sense of belonging through opportunities to make meaningful connections in our community, and elevating student voices by bridging the gap between students and faculty, thereby connecting them to valuable resources that support academic success and professional development. Faculty and staff were just as delighted to connect with students and learn about ways they can support them as individuals.

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to be involved with BSG where they give me the creative freedom to plan events like this! It is so great to see students, faculty, and staff come together and create meaningful connections.” – Jada Easterly, Director of Traditions, on Business Student Government
