The Dixie L. Leavitt School of Business is proud to recognize its very own students and faculty who presented their research on a variety of different topics at the Festival of Excellence. The festival is an exciting opportunity for these individuals to showcase their work and establish themselves in the community as scholars in their respective fields. Participating in the festival can be a key step in providing experience and achievements later in life for career searching and hiring opportunities.
Each year, several of the School of Business students and faculty present their innovative new ideas and research to the SUU community. These scholars share their brilliance and their time with their peers and mentors. This year, the school of business has 3 faculty members and 9 student presentations participating in the festival:

The collaboration and mentorship between our students and many of our faculty displayed at the Festival of Excellence each year is a hallmark of the relationships business students have with their professors and the goals they can achieve with the right support. The hard work shown by our faculty members, whether through mentorship or their own research, demonstrates the synergy and commitment to their students and the school of business.
The Festival of Excellence is held annually as a one-day event to celebrate scholarship in all forms within the SUU campus. The festival champions all scholarly efforts across disciplines and is an event dedicated to showcasing the brilliance and scholarship of students and faculty alike. All students and employees are encouraged to participate in the festival and present their projects, performances, research and all other scholarly activities in which they may be engaged.
