Following the progress made last fall, the Tillman School of Business is advancing its strategic initiatives. Our students, faculty & staff have a strong sense of optimism & energy about our collective future & the possibilities that lie ahead for the School. I am especially grateful to those members of the faculty & staff who have assumed a progressive leadership role.
This is a transformational year for the Tillman School as we embark not only upon our goal to become a leading business school in the region, but to more concretely contribute to the region's further development. We continue to implement key elements of the plan outlined last fall - enhancing our reputation; improving the quality & value proposition of programs; student experiences, classroom instruction; strengthening faculty scholarship & outreach to our business communities.
Among other activities, in recent months, we:
1. Assembled a strong leadership team

3. Created greater educational value with an improved the Management & Organizational Development program
4. Launched a Task Force to redesign the Management Information Systems program

9. Launched a distinguished speaker series & began inviting eminent persons to address the School, including: US Senators J. McCain, E. Dole & R. Burr, Mr. J. Edwards, & Mr. Al Gore.
To serve the growing demand for a new paradigm in management education - emphasizing innovation & entrepreneurship to produce graduates with the skills & insights needed to launch new ventures, lead the development of new, economically significant enterprises, & drive transformational change, the School is re-evaluating its curriculum & co-curricular programs as well as assessing the establishment of a business institute focusing economic development, entrepreneurship & innovation.
This will be a pivotal year at the Tillman School. I am indebted to the enthusiastic involvement of our alumni, faculty, staff & students. Together we are architects of our future.
