As I start my second year as dean of the Sawyer Business School, I can’t tell you how rewarding it is to meet face to face with new students and colleagues, and to feel the momentum of a new, in-person, academic year.
As you’ll see below, we have so much to be proud of. Our programs continue to be recognized, not just nationally but globally. Our faculty have been presenting and publishing their research to much acclaim. And our students have been doing incredible things to change the world...and getting noticed for it in wonderful ways.
I am excited for this year, and I make this promise: We as a community will continue to transform the lives of our talented SBS students.
As always, I thank all of our alumni, faculty, staff, students, and parents for their continued support.
