"We’re building a network for those who are either building a family business themselves or planning on running their family business. This network will give them a chance to work with peers who face similar issues and opportunities."

"I am a proud third generation in my family’s business. While I wish I took a course like this during college, I now can support students by directly relating to them. In class, students explore family business experientially by diving into their own family’s business, discussing case studies and becoming more aware of their own role within the family and future.”

“The first time that I ever found out about this class was the fall of my freshman year. I couldn’t believe they had a class I could take as an elective for my major that would help me in my career, as someone who plans to work with my family for most of my life. I had some pretty grand expectations as a naïve 19-year-old for what the class would entail, and be like—this class has been everything that I hoped it would be. I’ve learned so much about resolving conflict, expanding your family business and how to plan for the succession of the family business. This class made me think about my family's business in ways I never had before.”
