Going Beyond Business as Usual
A message from the Dean
Happy New Year! We are off to a great start here in the College, and I look forward to seeing many of you back on campus throughout the spring semester.

E-Week will be April 3-7, just three months away. Our Hatchlings are busy preparing their business pitches and we will be inducting new members into the Hamilton Hall of Fame. Many of our alumni will be joining us to celebrate innovation and entrepreneurship. Please mark your calendars to join us for this dynamic experience!

We hope you enjoy news from the College. Please let me know of any success stories you would like to share in Biz News!

Warm regards,
Dean Ray Braun
