Happy Anniversary HSB!
 On April 23, 2008 the Hamline School of Business was officially established. Two years later, with an increase in full-time faculty, a robust and thriving MBA program, the opening of our Minneapolis Center, the strengthening of our undergraduate BBA and Economics majors, and the formation of the undergraduate degree for working adults, enrollment has increased to almost 1000 students. Thank you for all you've done to make the School of Business successful! |

An Earth Day Marketing Trip
On the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, Jim Hagen's Marketing Management class had an inside look at the environmentally acclaimed Jackson Meadow housing development at Marine on St. Croix. Developer Harold Teasdale spoke to the class that day about the idea behind this project which emphasizes many energy-saving and other "green" features in the houses as well as preservation of common open space and the natural environment. As green marketing continues to gain importance, Teasdale told of the shift away from selling prospective homeowners on the large number of square feet in a house to featuring the lifestyle benefits that come in well designed houses in communities that preserve the naturally beautiful landscapes. |
