“It’s important to get educational experience outside of the classroom,” said Quinton Baker, president of the Dean’s Advisory Council for the College of Business and Economics. Baker said the newly developed Leaders’ Ways and Wisdom speaker series is a means to do just that.

After considering a student body request to view the big picture, the College of Business and Economics hosted its first State of the College Address last Wednesday. It was organized by the Dean’s Advisory Council to inform students of priorities of the College and changes they can expect to see. This included a new curriculum, a revised mission statement and a campaign to improve the College’s reputation as an elite business school.
