What is Business Today?
Founded by Steve Forbes, Michael Mims, and Jonathan Perel in 1968, Business Today has spent over 50 years creating a dynamic forum for top undergraduate students to connect with today’s most influential and inspirational business leaders. Originally called the Foundation for Student Communication, BT was originally comprised solely of the printed magazine, with articles written by undergraduates and business leaders. Today, we have expanded our programming but continued our mission: to enable and empower open lines of communication between business leaders and the students who will eventually follow in their footsteps. Through our conferences, multimedia content, seminars, and assorted programming, Business Today gives students and leaders alike a chance to expand their horizons and broaden their view of the business world.
“Business Today serves a purpose that is every bit as relevant and important as it was in 1968, enabling students and business executives to learn from each other, and to work together to tackle the challenges that face corporate America and the nation.
There is always a better way. Both students and business leaders must remember that.”
