underrepresented groups with their business affiliated aspira A mere 6 were African Americans/Black—less than 1.5%. H.

In the fall semester of 2002, there were 422 students within the Haas Undergraduate Program. Because of these discouraging numbers, Melanie Boughton, Karibu Nyaggah, and Solomon Asfaw had a dream to establish an organization that would help minority students with their pursuits of getting into Haas. Although the process to form such a group was undoubtedly an uphill battle, HUBBA was officially fo

unded in February of 2003 with the help of student advocate Mrs. Faye Lawson. The purpose of the organization was to increase the number of African American/Black students within Haas and assist students in their professional development pursuits. The first semester there were 5 paid members. As the organization began to grow in size, the officers realized that the need for business information and resources was far greater than they had originally conceived. Not only was there a strong interest for HUBBA amongst intended Haas students, but many non-business majors realized the value that the organization held. The vision and opportunities that the organization exuded were embraced by the community as a whole, and HUBBA’s membership slowly began to grow. Through this growth and increased interest, the organization’s mission shifted to what it is today: to assist minority students with their business affiliated goals and aspirations. Although increasing the number of Haas students is still a primary focus, HUBBA has a lot to offer for the non-business major as well. Whether or not a student plans on pursuing a major in Haas, there are going to be times in their life when they will need to have an impressive resume, when they will need to know how to dress in various professional settings, when they will need to speak in public before a professional audience, or when they will need to build and manage their wealth. HUBBA prepares its members for these occasions. In addition, HUBBA aims to create a better understanding of career opportunities by hosting events which introduce a wide variety of industries and professionals within those industries. For example, through HUBBA events students can learn about opportunities in real estate, career possibilities in complex fields such as finance or consulting, or even the prospects available in public relations. HUBBA also offers two annual scholarships which aim to assist students with their professional dreams.
