What it is: A community for students interested in entrepreneurship, management, marketing, finance, and how organizations grow and succeed in today’s economy.

Community focus: Leadership, innovation, collaboration, and ethical decision-making.

Experiential Learning: Business ELC students connect classroom concepts to real organizations through company site visits, networking opportunities, and hands-on challenges that explore how ideas become successful enterprises.

Adventures: Business ELC students take a behind-the-scenes tour of a professional arena or stadium to explore how large-scale events are planned and managed. Students meet with professionals in event operations, ticketing, marketing, branding, and facility management to see how business strategy, customer experience, and logistics come together to create memorable events.

“I cried when I left the U.S. because I was scared,” confessed computer science major Isaura Franco ’26. “And, I cried again when I had to leave Italy because I didn’t want to leave.” It was clear that returning home brought a bit of reverse culture shock. Things were quieter and less connected in comparison to Italy’s lively, social atmosphere. Summing up her experience in three words, she smiled and said, “beautiful, life-changing, and fun."

Spend a semester at the University’s satellite campus in Prato, Italy, or participate in hundreds of opportunities that enable you to learn about and immerse yourself in cultures, customs, and traditions from around the globe.

William Adams, an emeritus professor of computer science, led a program for many years that brought students to our campus in in Tuscany, Italy, in the cradle of the Renaissance.

"I tell parents that their son or daughter will be standing taller when they see them again after their European experience," said Adams. "Upon their return, parents often attest to this fact."
