  • Guiding program direction, strategic growth, and community connections
  • Providing financial support both personally and through corporate connections
  • Participating in networking activities that promote the university’s mission and specifically, that of the School of Business.
  • Supporting the school’s mission by participating on committees based on expertise and interest. These committees meet informally to develop strategies and generate ideas to help the school achieve its objectives.
