Living and Learning with Business

ILC-GB Classroom where residents take Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting together.

As of this year, sophomores majoring or minoring in business had the residential life option of applying to live in an Integrated Learning Community - Global Business or ILC-GB. Students in this program live in a designated wing in O'Hare Hall and participate in various activities aimed at advancing the students in the business profession. Residents can attend a monthly lecture series where Fordham Alumni come to talk to the members of ILC-GB. They give advice on how to advance yourself in the business world and they tell their story of how they got to where they are today.

Other programs include resume workshops and a monthly book club, where everyone reads a book related to business and they discuss it. Members of this ILC also split into two teams and over the course of the year, create a business. Each team is given $500 to use towards the business. Hopefully the two teams this year create prosperous businesses!

Another feature about ILC-GB is that all of the members take Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting together. The class takes place in a classroom (see picture above) located on the wing of the students' dorm rooms. The classroom is even equipped with Smart Board technology and is only for members of ILC-GB to use!

The ILC- GB brings new meaning to the phrase live and learn!
