Goizueta Latin Business Association
(GLBA)
History: GLBA promotes the legacy of our school's namesake, Roberto C. Goizueta, by promoting a better understanding of the impact of Hispanic culture on U.S. business. The National Society of the Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) has bestowed its "University of the Year" award on Goizueta in recognition of its support of NSHMBA on both a local and national level, its efforts to attract more Hispanics to the MBA program, and its prestige and reputation in the community.
Professional Development:
The association helps students Americanize their resumes, prepare for interviews in English, and understand unspoken culture and body language involved in doing an interview in the United States. It does the same thing in reverse for U.S. students interviewing for jobs in Latin American countries. Participate actively in NSHMBA and Hispanic Chamber of Commerce workshops and career fairs. Prepare for and travel as a group to NSHMBA's annual conference.
Academics:
Make students aware of educational opportunities outside the business school that emphasize current events in Latin America and the impact of Hispanic growth on business in the United States. Introduce special speakers when possible who can enhance education in this regard.
Culture:
Through a weekly Spanish Table, convened at different Latin American restaurants, members help non-Spanish speakers develop language skills and understand differences in Latin cultures.
