Above, The Business Community meets on Oct. 1 in Mitchell Hall.

Twenty-eight area professionals, students, faculty, and administrators gathered on Oct. 1 to kick off The Business Community’s 2026–27 academic year. The Business Community is a student club designed to help students discover career pathways and opportunities through interactions with faculty and external business leaders in Central Ohio. 

Participants reviewed the organization's mission, celebrated past successes, and discussed its growth before breaking into five standing committees to establish goals and plan activities for the year. Discussions focused on student and professional outreach, live events, on-demand networking opportunities, and plans for the organization's website and social media.
