At Mays Business School, the spirit of service doesn’t just appear in December; it is a year-round emphasis. Students learn to help others and give back to the community in and out of the classroom.
In the summer of 2008, Michael Kurt ‘09, an accounting student in the Professional Program at Mays Business School, spent four weeks doing humanitarian work in the poorest regions of Central America before flying to England for a course at the London School of Economics. Both experiences have changed the way Kurt sees the world, himself, and the future.
Excited cries were heard as students from the Business Student Council passed out new knapsacks filled with school supplies to 601 young scholars at Anson Jones Elementary in Bryan. Mays students orchestrated the entire event, from the corporate and individual fundraising, to the collection and distribution of materials. In all, the group collected $15,815 in monetary donations and supplies.
