RESOURCES

While intellectual growth is the hallmark of a ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ education, nurturing and developing the whole person is equally valued. Below are academic and co-curricular resources to support that growth.

VSB ODEI Resources


The ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ School of Business (VSB) Course Materials Fund is sponsored by the Davis Fund and provides financial support to VSB students to purchase course materials that assist their academic success. Students must apply for funds using an online application.


The VSB Deloitte Student Group Fund provides VSB student organizations with the opportunity to foster an inclusive environment by planning and hosting diversity, equity, and inclusion events aimed at enhancing students' professional and personal development.

INCLUSIVE BATHROOMS IN BARTLEY

Similar to the other buildings on ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥â€™s campus, The ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ School of Business (VSB) examined its physical structures to ensure that all members of the community experience a more inclusive environment. To do this, we constructed an accessible and inclusive restroom. The single stall, restroom is located on the third floor of Bartley Hall, across from room 3027. This restroom offers any member of the VSB and ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ communities needing accommodation unrestricted access. Introducing this restroom is part of VSB ODEI’s effort to promote an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and respect for the needs of all members of our community.  With this addition, VSB will be joining the other colleges and buildings across campus to offer increased accessibility (See the Inclusive Restrooms tab on this Resources Page), ensuring the physical and mental health of our entire community.
