Message from the Dean
Welcome to the School of Business BSBA/MBA spring ’18 newsletter.
We are excited to announce that, thanks to several new scholarship donors, we were able to award more than $200,000 in scholarships to over 100 business students at this year’s Scholarships and Awards Luncheon. This is a record-breaking dollar amount for scholarships awarded to School of Business students. These scholarships help the School attract and retain the highest-level students and are one way the School adds value to our students, the community and the University. Read more about the Scholarships and Awards Luncheon in the Spotlight on Students section.
Sincerely,
Timothy S. Schoenecker, PhD
Interim Dean

Defining Your Alma Mater |
|
| |
As the years go by, most of us will become nostalgic about the time we spent in college, often calling it “the best days of our lives.” Of course, that’s not to say your current life is not the best, but it proves that the time when you had fewer responsibilities, were focused on making good grades, and were getting ready to start your professional journey made a great impression on you. We gain so much from our college experiences, and it’s important to give back to support that same experience for others behind you. We hope this is reason enough to support the School of Business, but here are some other great reasons to give back:
- Support of your alma mater plays a big role in determining the future and continued development of the School.
- Scholarship donation goes a long way to support students who need financial help to offset their educational costs.
- Investing your time and money in your alma mater helps current students gain a valuable asset—an excellent education
- Alumni giving opens up more giving opportunities for outsiders, organizations and philanthropists.
- When your alma mater continues to grow in prestige, the value of YOUR degree increases.
For those of you who support your alma mater already, thank you for investing in the School of Business! Others can start giving back today!
