About Us
The International Business Organization (IBO) was created by two international students, Billy Wu and Ivan Lam, in 2010. We are the foremost club promoting the study of international business and culture at the Shidler College of Business. IBO develops international excellence within our members through a combination of professional development, networking, philanthropy, and cultural awareness.
Our organization welcomes students from all majors, attracting members with a passion for international business and an interest in studying abroad. Through our Global Analysis Workshops (GAWs), members who have studied abroad share their experiences, providing valuable insights and preparation for those planning their own exchanges. Additionally, we host a diverse range of events, including professional development, networking, philanthropic, and social opportunities, fostering growth and connection among our members.
