THE ECCLES EXPERIENCE

Ecc les .Utah .edu | Page 3

We change lives at the David Eccles

School of Business.

Every student who walks through our doors

is transformed thanks to engaged fellow

students, research-leading faculty, the unique

work of our eight institutes and centers,

and a service-focused staff.

Our classroom and experiential learning

opportunities—coupled with the pro-business

climate, entrepreneurial vision and outdoor

spirit of Utah—are part of something we

treasure and call the Eccles Experience.

Our donors and corporate partners are

incredibly supportive. Working with them,

we constantly cultivate new opportunities

for students. From state-of-the-art facilities

to learning abroad and internships around

the globe, the school’s momentum

continues to build.

We invite you to join us on campus, meet

and interact with our students, and support

the school. Come see for yourself how the

Eccles Experience gets better every day.

Sincerely,

Taylor Randall
