Dean Julian Schuster Presents at DRIVE Event
 Last night, HSB co-sponsored (with WCCO) the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce's DRIVE-Emerging Leaders event. DRIVE-Emerging Leaders is a young professionals networking group which sponsors social events and monthly roundtables. Last night's event was held at the W Hotel in downtown Minneapolis and Dean Julian Schuster was the featured speaker. His talk focused on characteristics needed for leadership in the current economic environment. Also attending were Associate Dean Nancy Hellerud (who gave the Hamline introduction), Program Administrator Jamie McClary, and Assistant Program Director Wendy Delesha. We were pleased to run into an HSB alum and to have our graduate programs highlighted at the event. If you work in Minneapolis, check out the DRIVE-Emerging Leaders events!
