Enrolling in Hill School and Levene GSB is good business
At the Paul J. Hill School of Business and Kenneth Levene Graduate School of Business (Levene GSB), the staff members make it their business to enhance the learning experience of all students.
The Hill School is an undergraduate school for students interested in obtaining a diploma or Bachelor of Business Administration, while the Levene GSB is a graduate program for students working toward a Master of Business Administration. Recent surveys have shown there is a nearly 100 per cent satisfaction rate among students in both schools.
“The students find a sense of belonging and value,” said Dr. Andrew Gaudes, Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration, which includes the two schools. “We create a positive environment for our students and they are guided by a very skilled staff and mentorship group.”
Gaudes noted that an emphasis is placed on experiential education experiences that provide valuable opportunities for students to hone their work skills. These experiences include work terms and group competitions like JDC West and the Inter-Collegiate Business Competition – competitions at which the schools earned top placements this past year.
The overall educational experience sets up students to be very successful upon graduation. Based on data from the past fall, 95 per cent of students who convocated were able to find jobs.
“Our students find employment in a variety of fields, from accounting to consulting to government to not-for-profits,” Gaudes said. “It speaks to the versatility of a business degree and the satisfaction that employees have with our student graduates.”
Students at both schools also learn the value of giving back to the community. Through this year’s 5 Days for the Homeless Campaign run by the Hill Business Students’ Society, $52,075 was raised to support Carmichael Outreach and help provide food, clothing, housing, assistance, addictions counseling and other services for Regina’s homeless community.
