Focused on Innovation!

Innovation is at the core of what we do at the College of Business and is key to our success. Our professors are energized by discovering what is needed in the marketplace and by applying those discoveries to the learning experience for their students. Continuously nurturing an innovation mindset is essential and we deeply value the input and perspectives of those who serve on the College of Business Advisory Board, a valued collective of our community’s business leaders. See the article by member Marsha Graesser. Their contributions to the formation of degree strategy plans and curricula round out our professors’ knowledge and expertise. Examples of how we evolve and innovate to meet market needs are our Human Resources Management degrees highlighted here. Associate Professor Angela Longe is the program director. In this issue, she talks to the importance of arming HR professionals with current knowledge and practices in college so they can hit the ground running in their careers.
