GORDON FORD COLLEGE OF BUSINESS OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM CURRICULUM 

Gordon Ford College of Business is committed to the academic and professional success of its students. AT GFCB, we realize, professional success doesn't begin when a student wears a cap and gown and receives a diploma. Preparing for professional success is a process, that begins the moment a student walks into Grise Hall for the first time. In order to prepare students for entry into the professional business environment, GFCB created an initiative entitled "PEAK". "PEAK" is a comprehensive resource that compliments the content knowledge that students learn and practice each day in the classroom. 

Professional Education and Knowledge (PEAK) Competencies:

• Oral and Written Business Communication
• Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
• Career Management
• Diversity Equity and Inclusion
• Leadership
• Professionalism
• Digital Technology

How will you ascend to your personal PEAK?

1. Sign up for Suitable. Suitable is an app based program built like a game with challenges and rewards. It provides students with a way to identify "PEAK" activities they need to complete, organizes their categories of participation, and tracks cumulative progress in real-time. 
2. Commit to completing the PEAK Passport (information below) or the Certificate in Advanced Professionalism (Business Students Only). These demonstrate to employers your willingness to develop your professional self.
