Student Life
The Touro University Graduate School of Business offers a range of activities for students to develop both their academic and professional standing. The following non-credit-bearing activities are currently offered to our students, further enriching the academic experience by expanding learned concepts within real-world applicability.
Student Organizations
Student organizations must be academic in nature and related to specific programs at GSB. Approval and recognition of student organizations will be given to student academic organizations committed to the development of students within the business industry. Students who wish to form an organization, club, or society should submit a petition, with a minimum of ten signatures of students interested in joining the organization, and a charter, describing the goals, structure, officers, faculty advisor, and governance policies to the Dean of the Touro Graduate School of Business.
The Dean of the Touro Graduate School of Business approves all graduate business student clubs and organizations. Each such organization is required to file a listing of officers and its charter with the Office of the Dean every October 1.
No student group or organization may solicit funds for its own use or for any community or charitable purpose without receiving prior written authorization from the Office of the Dean.
Business Plan Competition
At Touro University Graduate School of Business, we understand that professional competitions nurture valuable learning experiences, whether your educational goals include opening a business, launching a new venture, or developing an entrepreneurial mindset. Contests involve assessments from fellow learners and subject matter experts; they build networks, add value to students’ portfolios, and enhance students’ competitive advantage. These events also provide the opportunity for students to win grant-funded prizes up to $10,000—available to all GSB students—regardless of degree or credential program, part-time or full-time status.
Moonshot Scholars
The Moonshot Scholars Program introduces students to the wealth of challenges and opportunities facing the world right now, preparing them to launch their own Moonshot venture that will transform a major community, industry, and/or the planet. From guest speakers to using principles from books such as Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth, and Impact the World, students will learn to embrace opportunities with an entrepreneurial mindset that seeks to solve the world’s most pressing problems. The Moonshot Scholars Program shows students how the convergence of fast-moving technologies can be used to solve human problems.
Real Estate Entrepreneurship (REEP) Lecture Series
Each semester, the Touro University Graduate School of Business hosts industry experts for the REEP Lecture Series, named after our Advanced Certificate in Real Estate Entrepreneurship Program. This series focuses on discussion of timely, relevant topics within the real estate space.
