There are around 60+ student organizations at Ross, spanning professional clubs, affinity groups, and social and sports clubs. On this episode of Business Beyond Usual, hosts Aishwarya Raja and Sylvia Percovich sit down with 4 deeply involved Ross students to discuss finding community outside of the classroom.

Topics covered include navigating the club fair as first years, deepening impact and involvement as second years, and, through it all, making it to Skeeps on Thursdays. Our guests take us inside the affinity groups, covering the Black Business Student Association (BBSA), Africa Business Club (ABC), Consortium, Latin American Business Students Association (LABSA), Brazilian Business Student Association (BRASA), Indian Subcontinent Business Association (ISBA), Michigan Business Women (MBW), MoMBAs, and more. The panel then looks forward to some favorite Ross events on the horizon, from Latin Vibes to the Follies Roast/Toast.

Our guests leave listeners with valuable advice: be open, show up, and get involved!
