2020 Day of Giving

The Santa Clara experience is so much more than just classes and exams. We understand that in order to educate the whole person and instill conscience, competence and compassion into our students, we need to give them as many opportunities—both inside and outside of the classroom—as possible and empower them to get involved.

Some of our priorities this year include:

• An Entrepreneurial Mindset. Ciocca Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship offers numerous hands-on programs and encourages students to explore business with an entrepreneurial mindset while developing the skills needed to be successful entrepreneurs and innovators.

• Real Estate. Our focus on becoming the leader in real estate education in the Bay Area has never been stronger. Our Real Estate Advisory Board, in conjunction with Business School leadership, is constantly developing programs for our students to learn about and participate in the real estate industry. Students can minor in Real Estate, join the Real Estate Student Association, or participate in the annual Real Estate Symposium held each spring. And we’re not stopping there!

• Student Success. Professional Development remains a focus for the Leavey School of Business. Improving our student’s professional skills as they transition to the next chapter of their lives. Our Professional Development initiative supports programs and services that enhance the student experience beyond the classroom such as resume and interview skills workshops, networking and building confidence.

• Graduate Education. Our business school enables graduate students to build deep connections with Silicon Valley through MBA, MS and Online programs. Enrichment takes place beyond the classroom through career events where students engage with corporate partners and thought leaders, through flexible programming that allows both on-ground and online learning, and a global business perspective is gained through international study opportunities. 

Help us educate the whole person by supporting the programs that inspire our students to do more than expected and empower them to fulfill their potential.
