| A MESSAGE FROM DEAN BRAUN |
|
Greetings from the College of Business!
We recently graduated nearly 250 business students who are already Going Beyond Business As Usual. More than 86 percent of students have jobs or are interviewing. The average salary of our graduates is $53,556, which is higher than the national average.
The fall class is shaping up to be the most academically successful class in our history. We expect high enrollment of new students and high retention from the freshmen to sophomore year.
We are gearing up for the fall Women in Leadership Conference, the Business Analytics Symposium as well as Homecoming and Family Weekend. Mark your calendars for the following dates:
Family Weekend - September 16-18
Homecoming - October 1
Business Analytics - October 7
Women in Leadership - October 21
We hope to see you at these events this fall, in the meantime, have a fun and relaxing summer. Biz News will return in August.
Warm Regards,
Ray Braun '80
Dean, College of Business
