The College of Business is dedicated to highlighting the hard work of its students. Each fall, the COB Scholarship Banquet is held to honor student achievement. The 2019-20 Banquet, held November 22 at the John A and Genny Morris Conservation Center, showcased the high level of academic achievement among College of Business Students.
At this year’s event, 230 scholarships totaling more than $270,000 were awarded. Family, friends, faculty, staff and many generous donors from across the country attended the event. COB is grateful to have such generous donors and appreciates the support they provide to so many students.
