New Year's Wishes from CESR Faculty & Staff
Kevin McMahon My holiday wish is that we each realize how fortunate we are and return with a renewed commitment to reach our full potential. And for safe travels, laughter with family and fresh powder. Kristian Hanssen Peace on earth good will towards man! Marilyn Decalo My holiday wish is a happy, healthy, fulfilling and prosperous New Year for all CESR faculty, staff, students and their families. May you find joy in your life, satisfaction in your work and passion in your personal pursuits. Don Oest My holiday wish is that Leeds Business School graduates would make a difference in the business world where Corporate Social Responsibility just becomes second nature and highly regarded. Francy Milner My holiday wish is that our students will "think big" and contribute their talents to the world that so needs them! Lorna Christoff My holiday wish is, of course, for CESR to receive the attention and support it deserves, both internally and externally to Leeds and CU. The immediate benefits we provide to our students, the Leeds community, and the business community are significant; I wish more people would recognize this as well as the potential long term benefits to society as a whole. In addition, I wish for our students to mirror us; we spread our arms wide to give them knowledge and guidance, and I wish they would spread their arms wide to take it all in as some of our special and stellar students do. Finally, I wish to be the kind of person I teach my students they can be. Donna Sockell I wish for the many underserved populations in the world to receive the education, the promise of a better future, we seek to give our Leeds students. Jimmy Primsky My holiday wish is that companies would start taking the initiative to act more socially responsible in their everyday operations and that everyone would have a great holiday season. Douglas Bennett My holiday wish is that everyone will have plenty of wind in their sails. Beth Cross My holiday wish is that we all remember, good things happen one kind deed at a time. At Leeds alone, there are 4000 of us who can make a "one kind deed" difference during this holiday season. Scott Gwozdz I wish that every business give serious consideration to the triple bottom line approach as the best path to maximize profit for the long term. Paige Claassen My holiday wish is that we would all hold firm to our morals and consider those around us when making difficult decisions. Liz Stapp My holiday wish is that you quiet all the other voices inside your head; find your own, singular voice; link that voice to your head and heart; and never waiver from where it leads you.
Colleen Seltz I wish that all beings experience joy, peace and prosperity. | 
concentration in Real Estate and Sustainability. As part of his MBA coursework Brett took CESR's Social Entrepreneurship in Emerging Markets, taught by Francy Milner, where his student team project was on an eco-lodge in Honduras. "My time at CU," said Brett, "introduced me to the world of social entrepreneurship, educating me about how business principles could be applied to 'doing good by doing well'."
