The GBSA facilitates networking, learning, and professional development opportunities for graduate business students at the Miami Herbert Business School. We connect students within the business program with each other as well as professors, alumni, and industry leaders. We also provide a unified and cohesive voice for students in all MHBS programs in matters related to academics, career and professional development, university policy, and community involvement.

We strive to enable all members of the MHBS community to leverage the experiences and ideas of others, embrace different viewpoints, and receive recognition for their valued contributions. We are committed to making positive change in the diversity and inclusion of our community, where our members build strong relationships and networks extending throughout the vibrant city of Miami and beyond.

Past popular events include professional networking, happy hours, organized trips to sporting events, tailgates, final’s week kick-back nights, and the annual Graduation Formal. MHBS students are encouraged to provide feedback to enable the continuous improvement of GBSA’s calendar of events.

All graduate business students are members of the GBSA. Any student interested in becoming more involved with the GBSA can run for a position on the Executive Board or become their cohort’s representative. Elections for the GBSA occur in the Spring semester for Executive Board roles and in the Fall and Spring semesters for Representative roles. Involvement with GBSA is a great way to improve communication and leadership skills as well as cultivate valuable interpersonal connections and career opportunities with the help of UM’s professional network.
