Graduate Student Involvement

There are many meaningful ways for graduate students in the School of Business to get involved in groups and events beyond the classroom.

Student Engagement Councils

Each graduate degree program maintains a Student Engagement Council that facilitates socials, celebrations, feedback opportunities, and other student-to-student events within the program. The Student Engagement Council may also work collaboratively to create events that span multiple degree programs.

Student Groups

Students also have the opportunity to engage with multi-program affinity groups that provide opportunities to connect via shared identities and build community while exploring relevant topics. Additionally, students are able to serve on student advisory councils that support the work of our strategic initiatives.

School Events

Apart from student groups, event-based involvement opportunities provide students with short-term leadership opportunities that culminate in the execution of marquee school events.  Examples of recent student events are: global case competitions, philanthropic fundraising initiatives, forums on contemporary marketplace issues, and events to help students de-stress and have fun.

The entrepreneurial student spirit is alive and well in the School of Business, so we also welcome incoming students to contribute by bringing their own ideas to the table!

Graduate Honor Council

The Honor Code at the Wake Forest Graduate School of Business represents a compact of mutual confidence and a spirit of trust between each student and the members of the faculty and staff. While acknowledging our individual backgrounds and experiences, we collectively expect all students in graduate business courses and programs to exercise honesty and ethical behavior in their academic pursuits. Every student is honor bound to uphold the foundational principles of the honor code that they shall not lie, cheat, or steal, and should actively reinforce these expectations in interactions with one another. Students, faculty and staff have an obligation to report any such academic misconduct.

The purpose of the Graduate Business Programs Honor Council is to preserve and promote ethical academic decision-making throughout the school by receiving and investigating reports of alleged honor code violations, conducting hearings, and identifying consequences when necessary for any student found to be responsible for violations. The Council is composed of graduate students from across graduate business degree programs and School of Business faculty members elected by their faculty peers. Procedures for council composition, as well as the investigation, review, evaluation, and communication of potential honor violations, are conducted in keeping with the processes set forth in the WFU School of Business Graduate Student Handbook.
