ECB Community
Economics and business students and faculty are a vibrant community on Gordon’s campus:
- ECB students are campus leaders—in student government (GCSA), as residence advisors, in Orientation, and in ministries on- and off-campus.
- The student-led Economics and Business Organization hosts parties, speakers, and an annual trip to NYC and Wall Street.
- Faculty and students work closely together—1-on-1 in advising, in student research, in discussing ideas from classes, or simply reviewing course material together.
