Congratulations to the 2020 Dean's Scroll Winners!
The Dean’s Scroll Award, created in 2008, is an annual award presented by the undergraduate deans of the Gies College of Business to ten graduating seniors of the College. The award seeks to honor and recognize the seniors who have demonstrated leadership skills that have benefited the Gies College of Business and its students. In order to be recognized as one of the Gies College of Business’s top ten graduating seniors, the student should have not only excelled in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom with a goal of always furthering the mission and vision of the Gies College of Business. Please join us in congratulating the 2020 Dean's Scroll winners! Their names will be added to a plaque for permanent display in BIF.

- Recognition, Insight & Openness (RIO) Workshop Online: Times are not easy.

RIO, which is led by Counseling Center clinicians, provides an interactive experience that helps you:
- Learn mindfulness skills that can help you identify why you’re feeling the emotions you are and accept them.
- Manage stress, anxiety, and other emotions productively.
- Identify what’s most important to you and prioritize accordingly.
