UC Riverside’s A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management (AGSM) is proud to have co-hosted the recent University of California SIEML Conference alongside the six fellow UC business schools. This immersive business and career leadership experience, held May 20 to May 31, 2024 on the UC Davis campus, welcomed 50 high-caliber students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI).
