COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMITTEE
The vision of the Community Service Committee (CSC) is to assist
non-profit organizations on community service activities while
utilizing the skills that the students acquire during the MBA
Program.
We strive to support
the neighboring non-profit organizations in their altruistic
endeavors by working closely with them on various organizational
projects, providing financial aid and time commitments. These
activities also help us in leveraging our relationships with
companies and the surrounding small businesses by maximizing
their exposure to the student body by providing great networking
opportunities. The CSC projects serve as ideal venues for
professionals and students to work side by side, learning about
each other and about the company while working together to
benefit charitable ventures.
Some of the past and
ongoing activities of the CSC include –
-
Toys for Tots Drive with the US

UConn School of Business received the Commander's Award for the
years 2004 and 2005 in recognition of the school's support of
