Greetings from the College of Business!
Our students just returned from spring break and campus is busy as we finish the semester.
We are gearing up for E-Week with renowned speakers presenting to our students and regional business leaders. Four alumni will be inducted into the Dallas-Hamilton Hall of Fame. Eleven students are working on their business pitches for The Hatch and alumni are heading back to campus to spend E-Week with us.
Check out how our students, faculty and alumni are Going Beyond Business As Usual this month!
The BGSU Sales Team earned a victory at the inaugural Sales Competition at the University of Toledo. One of our faculty members received the Women of Distinction Award. Our MAcc program is offering a unique partnership with other universities. Business alumnus, Gregory Stefani, was recognized with the University's College Alumni Award. Read about Matt Kelly '08 who was a social media innovator with Facebook, and Tyler Johnson, a recent accounting alumnus, who was back on campus recruiting College of Business talent to his firm.
Please let me know of any success stories you would like to share in Biz News!
Warm regards,
