Based in Princeton, NJ and run entirely by Princeton University undergraduates, Business Today, also known as the Foundation for Student Communication, is a nonprofit that aims to be the leading forum for student-executive interaction. Originally founded as a magazine in 1968, BT hopes to create a platform for current and future business leaders to offer thought-provoking (and sometimes provocative) insights into the world around us. BT sees this dialogue as vital for the development of future leaders, and equally inspiring for the business leaders of today.
BT believes in a business world accessible to everyone. We pride ourselves on our expenses-paid events such that financial need is never a barrier for our student participants. Our International Conference draws thousands of applicants every year to be selected for and flown into New York for a 3-day event, culminating in keynotes and seminars by over 80 executives and students representing 30 different countries, and our newest conference, Design Nation, provides a forum for students to learn about the world of design. Our publications, the Magazine and Online Journal (http://journal.businesstoday.org), solicit interview questions from students, and undergrads are encouraged to write articles through a summer journalism fellowship. For the Princeton community, BT holds an on-campus Seminars Series with business leaders and off-campus Breakout trips to explore a specific sector or city. BT aims to engage as many people as possible surrounding our cause by creating programs and content of the highest professional quality.
