Where Business Meets Purpose
What does the future of business education look like? Look no further than the campus of the University of San Diego (USD), where the brand new, state-of-the-art Knauss Center for Business Education opens its doors this month.
Every space within the 120,000-square-foot facility is intentionally designed to foster collaboration and innovation at USD’s Knauss School of Business. It features more than 20 active-learning classrooms, two advanced data analytics labs, a maker space for nurturing entrepreneurs, a media production studio and much more.
“The Knauss Center for Business Education will first benefit our students, who will receive an outstanding education infused with a higher purpose of innovating business for the good of society,” Tim Keane, Ph.D., Dean of the Knauss School of Business shares with GB Magazine. “It will also serve as a true connection point for the collaborative work we do with the San Diego community.”
Every semester, San Diego businesses of all sizes partner with USD on wide-ranging projects that impact the San Diego regional economy, while giving students hands-on learning opportunities. At The Brink Small Business Development Center, for example, faculty and graduate students mentor hundreds of San Diego’s small businesses. And companies who work with the Ahlers Center for International Business receive cost-free consulting to expand into global markets.
Collaboration fostered at the Knauss Center for Business Education will undoubtedly send ripples into San Diego and beyond, ensuring that the Knauss School of Business delivers on its promise – to educate new waves of ethical business leaders for generations to come.
