About Us

The Business Society of UC Merced is a business organization founded in 2005 by former president Sam Fong. The purpose of the organization is to fully prepare students for the challenges created by the 21st century business world by performing valuable business related services, increasing global awareness, promoting entrepreneurship, and providing an educational experience in a well-structured manner.

Business Society is comprised of eight departments: Entrepreneurship, Human Resources, Finance, Operations, Research and Development, Recruitment, External Relations, and Marketing. The members of Business Society are carefully placed in departments that reflect their skills and knowledge gained during a month long internship process or before joining the organization. Each department is run by an executive officer and those officers are lead by a Chief Executive Officer who is responsible for creating a vision for the Society, ensuring the welfare of the Society, maintaining a positive brand, and expanding the impact of the Society on its community.
