This year, we expanded the role of the COB Student Council, equipping them not just with a voice but with resources to lead meaningful engagement efforts.

These programs have already gotten off to a great enrollment start which is a testament to the collaboration between enrollment management, marketing and our academic leadership. Our IATA-partnered MBA program also continues to thrive, enrolling ever- increasing numbers of students
