Welcome from the Dean
The faculty and staff of Anderson School of Management are dedicated to excellence
in teaching, research, and service. This commitment is focused on ensuring the
success of our 1,500 students.
Highlights of the past year include:
- Continued high graduation rate (86%) at the undergraduate level.
- One of the nation's leading programs of ethical and socially responsible conduct - recognized by the Aspen Institute as one of the top 20 programs in the world.
- Top 20 recognition as a leading Hispanic-serving MBA program.
- A Technology Business Plan Competition involving ten teams of graduate students competing for $40,000 in prizes.
- An Executive MBA program filled with leaders from all sectors of the business and government communities.
- Record attendance at the annual Anderson Alumni Hall of Fame recognition dinner.
- A nationally recognized Information Assurance program in partnership with local, state, and national law enforcement agencies.
- Top placement in national student marketing competitions.
- A full schedule of presentations by business leaders at the new Paul R. Jackson Student Center.
- Recognition by US News + World Report for being one of the top 25 MBA programs for enrollment of women and ethnic minorities.
- The Native American Career Fair, an annual event that has become a premier venue to connect Native American students and employers with the Anderson community.
Looking to the future. We will be engaged in a process of continued improvement to
build upon this foundation of success. Following last year's comprehensive revision
of our strategic plan, we will adapt the curriculum to student needs, generate the
resources to pursue promising new initiatives, and provide a nurturing environment
to enhance student success.
I am grateful to the faculty and staff for their passion and commitment, to
the community for their support, and to the students - our most valued constituents.
And a special thanks to Interim Dean Amy B. Wohlert whose leadership brought
significant progress to Anderson.
