GBP Awards
UPDATE-- Notifications to Dean's List and Belotti Awards recipients will be circulated early next week. Please be on the lookout for more information!
Dean’s List, Belotti Awards, and Beta Gamma Sigma (managed by the Alumni Office) cannot be determined until grades are posted for all winter courses. Although we have grade due dates, all grades are typically posted 4-6 weeks after the deadline.
This is the case every quarter so if you are an award recipient, we will notify you of your academic achievement via e-mail and postal mail, as well as post this information on the awards website when it is available.

Career Counseling: *New Process*
Changing careers? Looking for a new job? Interested in meeting with a Career Consultant? Let us help you!
The processes for scheduling an appointment with a Career Consultant has changed in order to help us serve you better.
All GBP students and alumni interested in scheduling an appointment with a Career Consultant:
- Must RSVP for a “Discovering Your Career in Business” (DYCB) workshop on U-Connect—spring offerings: 5/5, 6/2; GBP alumni should RSVP by sending an e-mail to GBPCareers@scu.edu.
- Complete the 2 required assessments for workshop participation at least 2 days prior to DYCB. (These assessments will be sent two weeks prior to the workshop)
- Upon successful completion of DYCB, students and alumni can schedule an appointment with a Career Consultant at the workshop or by sending an e-mail request to GBPCareers@scu.edu.
Why the change? DYCB helps you explore your business interests and complete a career action plan, before meeting with a Career Consultant. This step ensures that the time with the Career Consultant is used as effectively as possible to assist you.
DYCB has received great reviews from past participants! Participation in DYCB requires the completion of two assessments prior to attending.
