The whole team at the Ed G. Smith College of Business is excited to welcome our new and returning students to the 2026-27 academic year. One of our top commitments is to ensure all business students stay connected with industry and build professional skills while they study here. RISE Academy was created two years ago to help achieve this goal. At the beginning of this year, we are introducing RISE Academy 2.0 with a further developed curriculum and program design. Are you interested? Would you like to become a mentor? Visit RISE Academy to learn more or contact Dr. Cindy Goodwin-Sak.
