This week on Segue, SIUE’s premier radio show that outlines the ideas and issues on campus and beyond, Chancellor Randy Pembrook welcomes School of Business Dean Tim Schoenecker.

This episode will air at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 23, on WSIE 88.7 FM The Sound.

Although Schoenecker’s appointment to the position was made effective July 1, the SIU Board of Trustees approved the decision on Sept. 13. He served as interim dean since May 2016 and had served as the School’s associate dean for four years.

Currently, the School of Business serves approximately 1,100 undergraduates majoring in one of those specialized programs and another 300 minoring in business. Approximately 200 graduate students are taking coursework offered by the School of Business this semester.

Schoenecker explains that the job market for business grads is positive. In particular, jobs in accounting and information systems, as those students usually graduate with jobs or with multiple job offers. In St. Louis, there is a huge demand for students that are ready to sit for the Certified Financial Planning certification.
