These Friday events will provide you with the opportunity to experience the GSB through class visits, panel discussions, and casual conversations. You will engage our students in various settings, debate our faculty in the classroom, and unwind with new friends at “Liquidity Preference Function” (LPF).

Join us for these unique visit days throughout the year. You won’t regret taking the day off. We feel certain you will leave the GSB knowing whether we are the right fit for you.
