By fostering discovery, entrepreneurship, and early-stage investing, we help leaders solve today’s challenges and create tomorrow’s opportunities. By enabling students, business owners, and investors to build partnerships that both foster economic growth and inspire continuous innovation, Goizueta Business School empowers them to develop and implement solutions to business problems, unaddressed market opportunities, and significant social needs.

Goizueta’s multidisciplinary approach supports and nurtures original thinking through a multi-faceted and robust mix of coursework, mentorships, student startups, launch accelerators, pitch competitions, summits, conferences, and more as students formulate ideas and engage Atlanta’s vibrant, rapidly growing entrepreneurial ecosystem. Funding through 2O36 sustains current offerings and expands the scope of entrepreneurial programming to better support the needs of our academic and business communities all in service to unleashing creativity, collaboration, and transformative problem solving.

Built on academic, experiential, and reflective learning, Goizueta Business School shapes next generation leaders who reflect Roberto C. Goizueta’s principle of conducting business with integrity. These leadership skills are infused into every aspect of the curriculum and immersive experiential learning opportunities like the Undergraduate Business Student Leadership Conference, Delta Leadership Coaching Fellows Program, Leader’s Reaction Course, Goizueta Advanced Leadership Academy, and Crisis Leadership VR Simulations. Students in these programs build the knowledge, skills, and self-awareness they need to work across boundaries, act with integrity, create vision, and inspire others.

Support for our leadership programming through 2O36 will allow us to scale our programs to further develop business leaders well-equipped to advance business for shareholders and stakeholders alike.

Goizueta faculty come from all over the world to change the world of business. When we invest in distinguished professorships, we invest in the students of Goizueta. When we fund thought-provoking research, we deliver relevant industry insights and drive innovation. In classroom lessons, in industry research, and in life, our faculty members constantly seek to go above and beyond to inspire purpose, educate minds, and revolutionize thinking.

Supporting faculty research through 2O36 funds academic inquiry and scholarship, designating resources that enable rigorous research. Supporting endowed professorships enables Goizueta to attract and retain the highest-quality faculty members and enhances every aspect of the student experience. This kind of academic funding and engagement makes the business school a more sought-after institution, improving faculty retention and recruitment efforts, generating new academic pedagogy, redesigning curricula based on research results, and elevating Goizueta faculty as thought leaders in business.

The student experience is central to Goizueta’s mission of developing principled leaders, and the Business Fund for Excellence provides the financial resources necessary to maintain our top priorities and respond quickly to changing market demands. From operational support for degree programs (supplementing academic advising and career resources) to co-curricular experiences (think business analytics training or enhanced diversity programming) and curricular innovation (integrating VR, AR, and AI into classroom lessons) to environment shifts (such as remote course delivery due to a global pandemic), these opportunities require resources to enable students to flourish.

Supporting the Business Fund for Excellence provides Goizueta with the ability to respond in real time to the changing needs of our students, our community, and the business industry. It helps us advance business education and therefore, business leaders.
