Through all of the events and competitions that Business+Tech has hosted in my time at Ross, I have learned so much about how closely tied together business and technology are. No matter what business-related industry someone wants to work in, the evolution of technology is going to play a critical role, so it is important to stay informed on the latest trends and the ways that tech is impacting the business world. B+T also taught all of us as Scholars to support each other and work together across teams to make sure that as an organization, we were putting on the best events possible.
