Berg Enterprise Resource Group
The academic programs in the School of Business are supplemented by the Berg Enterprise Resource Group (BERG), an active organization open to all students – Business Administration, Accounting and Economics majors, as well as undeclared majors or students in other majors who have an interest in business. The Group sponsors events and programs through which members can develop leadership, teamwork and project planning skills. The goal is for members to then apply those skills to improve their communities. In addition, BERG members benefit from opportunities to meet and network with area business professionals; these potential employers recognize BERG members as having transferable business skills.
