Black History Month B**rs Sponsorship
In celebration of Black History Month, the BBA sponsored Tepper's B**rs event. B**rs is a Tepper tradition in which students get together on Friday afternoon at school to unwind and relax after a long week of classes. BBA provided food for students, delivered a Black History Month presentation and engaged students in a Black History Month trivia game.
South Africa Trip
BBA organized Tepper’s first trip to South Africa in which 27 Tepper and Heinz students and faculty traveled to South Africa where they visited prominent companies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to learn about the political, social, and economic issues concerning doing business in South Africa. They also went to the bush (safari), sunbathed at the beach, and connected with Tepper alumini who live and work in South Africa. (View Story)
