MBA students collaborating in the classroom

With more than 70 student organizations in the Jindal School, there is something for every interest. (And if not, just start a group with your classmates!)

Student organizations nurture relationships, shape career paths, and form the personality of the Jindal School. Every discipline has a representing group and there are also school-wide groups. Students have the opportunity for leadership roles, the ability to help the community (and build their resume), and the chance to guide the direction of the student experience for the school as a whole.
