A MESSAGE FROM DEAN BRAUN

Happy New Year! I wish you a happy and healthy 2016. 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 here April 4-8. Our Hatchlings are busy preparing their business pitches and we will be inducting new members into the Dallas-Hamilton Hall of Fame. John Kelly of IBM will be bringing Watson to campus as we explore digital entrepreneurship for the Sebo Series. 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 read about Dr. Pascal Bizarro's flipped classroom in this issue. We are holding classes like a business meeting to prepare our students for employment.

Please let me know of any success stories you would like to share in Biz News!

Warm regards,
Raymond Braun '80
Dean, College of Business
