What is Business Today?
Founded by Steve Forbes, Michael Mims, and Jonathan Perel in 1968, Business Today, a student-run organization, aims to enable and empower open lines of communication between business leaders and college students. Originally called the Foundation for Student Communication, BT has grown from solely printed magazines to including conferences, multimedia content, seminars, and assorted programming, providing undergraduates a chance to broaden their view of the business world.
What DO WE DO?
BT publishes a biannual magazine featuring insights from top industry professionals and hosts two annual major conferences:
International Conference – Connecting students with global business executives
Design Nation Conference – Exploring the intersection of business, design, and technology
Campus Seminars – Gaining insights from guest speakers on business trends, career development, and leadership
Online Journals – Featuring student-written articles, interviews with industry leaders, and opinion pieces on a wide range of business-related topics
“Business Today serves a purpose that is every bit as relevant and important as it was in 1968, enabling students and business executives to learn from each other, and to work together to tackle the challenges that face corporate America and the nation.
