Dean's Message
August 2019
At the School of Management (SOM), we’ve always valued our alumni as ambassadors and partners of our institutional growth. Your engagement with and contributions to the school are incredibly important to us, so in anticipation of the upcoming school year, I’d like to take the time to reflect on the news and events of the recent past. Our community has so much to be proud of, and I’m eager to share what we’ve been up to with all of you!
Most importantly, I’d like to take this opportunity to invite you to come back to campus for our upcoming SOM Alumni Lunch on October 12th during Homecoming. We’d love to see you there to celebrate and reconnect you with our network. We will also be awarding our annual Faculty Advisory Council Awards for Excellence in Research & Scholarship, Service and Teaching. Come to renew, reconnect and celebrate with your fellow alums, faculty, staff and me, the Dean!
The most important event of the academic year was, of course, Graduation. There were 472 recent SOM graduates plus their families and friends, who we are immensely proud of and warmly welcome as great additions to our alumni network! If you haven’t done so already, I encourage you to connect with me personally and join the SOM group on LinkedIn. Keep us up to date with your ventures and share your stories; we’d love to hear from you. Use the network that you belong to!
Onward and Upward!
