Welcome and welcome back to Fall Semester! We hope that you all had a relaxing summer and are settling into your schedules. Last Monday and Tuesday, the Business Student Government at the University of Utah – David Eccles School of Business hosted their annual Eccles Welcome.
At Eccles Welcome, students had the chance to meet and hang out with their Business Student Government representatives, alumni relations, and fellow students. Students enjoyed bagels, pizza, drinks, and snacks to kick-start the first day of school!
Additionally, students were able to participate in our Eccles Scavenger Hunt all throughout the week to win prizes like crewnecks, water bottles, and other Eccles school swag.
As school begins, we want you all to know that we are here for you. There are plenty of resources within the Eccles School to support you and your needs. Here are just a few:
The Business Tutoring Center (BTC)
Located in rooms 1173 and 1175 on the first floor of SFEBB, next to the Undergraduate Lounge, the BTC supports students’ success in their coursework at the Eccles School through a collaborative learning environment. As part of your premier Eccles Experience, the BTC is a FREE academic support resource available to all undergraduate students at the Eccles School. Have questions?
