New Year Message from Dean Delcoure
|
Here in the College of Business Administration, we are enjoying an exciting start to 2015! Student enrollment and retention continue to rise, faculty remain committed to achieving excellence inside and outside the classroom and we offer learning opportunities through special programs and events in the interest of improving our community. The hard work and dedication from our faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends this past year has led to many college accomplishments such as:
- conquering the first phase in the journey to obtain the prestigious accreditation with the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) - eligibility application acceptance
- awarding scholarships totaling $57,000 to support business students' scholastic accomplishments
- achieving an increase in student enrollment and retention
As we move forward, our path will remain focused on building upon these achievements and adding new opportunities to enhance our academic programs and developing new initiatives to enrich our business students' educational experience. I am so appreciative of everyone's efforts in helping to reestablish our college's standing in higher education this past year and I look forward to working with everyone in 2015! Natalya Delcoure,
Dean
