The Adam Smith Society is a community of business school students and alumni who believe that business, entrepreneurship, and commerce are wellsprings that keep this country vibrant, creative, prosperous, and free.

Our members are dedicated to exploring the links among the economy, government, and society through rigorous debate and discussion.

The Society aims to build an influential network of future business leaders dedicated to preserving and strengthening the free-market economic system.

In concert with dedicated MBA student leaders, the national office of the Adam Smith Society underwrites and helps to coordinate a series of exclusive on-campus events that give MBA students access to prominent business leaders, academics, journalists, and public officials. Speakers discuss their experiences and offer insights about the connections between successful businesses, the maintenance of our nation’s free institutions, and a robust civil society. The Adam Smith Society also convenes national and regional programming for student members and alumni. We hope to inspire business students to think about their own responsibility in seeing our economic system endure.

After the last large financial crisis, popular society did not look upon business leaders with kind eyes. Warranted or not, it is sometimes easy to forget the profoundly positive impacts that free-market thinking and capitalism brought to our world.

As the Tepper Chapter to the Adam Smith Society, we aim to provide Tepper students with the knowledge required to make informed decisions about the role of capitalism in our society. We do not look simply at one side of an argument, but rather we seek to understand multiple perspectives.

An active athletic community supports the personal development of students, both in health and wellness as well as in academic and professional fields.

We invite every Tepper community member to develop him or herself by practicing a favorite endurance activity, by trying new ones, and by supporting each other. Doing so in a non-academic setting develops interpersonal relationships that positively affect our academic and professional lives as well.

We run, we climb, we bike, we swim, we lift heavy things (including ourselves), and we support each other while having a great time. All events are open to anyone from Tepper, CMU, or the wider Pittsburgh community -- athletic aptitude is absolutely not required.

In the world of business the ability to confidently approach a round of golf can prove to be quite valuable as a networking tool. To that end, the Golf Club has three main aims:
-To educate new players about the game play & etiquette.
-To provide additional opportunities for students to golf.
-And, to organize activities that will allow members to network with fellow students, alumni, faculty and employers.

While the TGC is a social club, golf is a game of integrity that has many rules and subtleties. Therefore, we seek to educate and mentor our members to ensure they conduct themselves in the proper fashion, and reflect positively upon their affiliation with Tepper.

Community outreach is also a key component in the Tepper community. The Tepper Golf Club also provides opportunities to volunteer with area youth through The First Tee of Pittsburgh.

Mission Statement And Bylaws

We, the MBA and MSCF students of the Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business, establish this Charter and By-Laws for the Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business Graduate Business Association (GBA) Student Government.

The GBA is hereby established as a means of representing the interests of the student body of the Carnegie Mellon University business masters programs. Through the establishment of an elected Student Government, it shall provide a platform for the discussion of issues of student concern and act as the instrument by which student interests may be voiced to the administration and faculty of the MBA and MSCF programs and Carnegie Mellon University.

The Student Government shall also act as an umbrella organization governing GBA supported student organizations and coordinating the distribution of funds distributed by the Tepper Administration to the student-run clubs and organizations recognized by the GBA.

The Student Government represents the interests of all members of the GBA rather than any particular organization therein.

The GBA is committed to enhancing Tepper's strong community, enriching the student experience and aiding the personal and professional development of students. To that end, the GBA acts on student feedback, implements new and existing school-wide initiatives and events to fulfill student needs and empowers students and student-led organizations.

The GBA is comprised of 11 members, elected annually: President, Vice-President, Admissions Officer, Alumni Relations Officer, Career Officer, Finance Officer, Marketing Officer, Technology Officer, Activities Officer, Part-Time Officer and MSCF Officer.

The GBA oversees a number of committees including (but not limited to) the:

The Robber Barons ("the RB") is a publication by and for the Tepper School of Business student body. Our mission is to enable our classmates to share their business school stories with our classmates.

The RB consists of a group of co-editors who spend their Monday nights writing satirical articles for the enjoyment and embarrassment of their classmates. If you're reading this, there's a chance that you could be featured in the next RB.

-Provide an interface for students coming to the US for the first time (in terms of a welcome package with reference to life in Pittsburgh, items they should bring with them, what to expect in Pittsburgh, housing tips, etc).
-Institute a customized mentoring program within the SABA. Mentors will aim to provide insights into the classes at Tepper, life at Tepper, opportunities for international students and issues within Tepper that new students need to be aware of.
-Help members with their job search - we aim to prepare a database of South Asian Tepper alum (with their prior permission) and to use this database to help students learn more about companies they target in their career search. This is not a substitute for the COC - we believe that South Asian students will find it easier to informally speak with South Asian alumni (especially those from their respective countries), and similarly, alum would be open to help students from their countries.
-Bring in guest speakers to talk to the SABA about opportunities for international students (specifically, from South Asia). This will not conflict with the COC's recruiting activities.
Hold cultural events on festivals like Diwali or Independence Day and welcome / farewell parties.
-We are in informal discussions with similar associations in other business schools (Wharton and Columbia at this point of time) to co-ordinate and hold common activities and events. Eventually, we hope to link a number of these organizations across several business schools.
