Reflecting on the previous year, I am encouraged by how our programs and students
have roared back from a historic upheaval in our history—where our classrooms sat
empty, and our mission had to be reimagined in real-time.
We emerged from this chapter stronger and poised to better prepare our students for
a world where uncertainty is the norm and change is the only constant.
So, our goal, guided by our recently launched five-year strategic plan, is to foster
resilient students whose academic experience serves as the foundation for a career
that can adapt and evolve with our ever-changing world.
The real bottom line is our people. I am honored to be at the helm of this great college—supporting
a formidable group of faculty who guide the next generation of business leaders.
I hope this report reminds you of what we've accomplished together and fuels our drive
for the work ahead as we make a difference for our university, state, and region.
