The Scott College of Business has many student organizations. These organizations provide a rich set of experiences and friends that enhance the classroom education. Within the organizations, business students can learn networking skills, meet successful alumni, listen to executives speak about their fields, make company site visits, and ask questions. Advice is available from students who have just navigated through the curriculum. Here are many opportunities to develop leadership skills as officers of these organizations.

Alpha Kappa Psi
The main focus of Alpha Kappa Psi is to provide leadership development, personal and professional training and the fundamental ingredient higher education misses—experience. Through professional development, educational programs, community service and a hands-on application of formal education, Alpha Kappa Psi students use the business skills they are taught in the classroom to acquire life skills such as the art of compromise, consensus building, project management, team building and networking. Mu Omicron is ISU's chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi.
