We had a wonderful Fall Open House on Saturday, October 21st. Many prospective students expressed interest in starting in the upcoming spring and fall semesters. I had the pleasure of presenting at the kick-off in the OSU, along with COB students Ella Johnson and Marina Melgar, to well over 600 parents and students. Ella and Marina did a wonderful job and even stayed after the meeting to talk with visitors. I am extremely grateful to all COB faculty and staff who welcomed visitors in the BIT Building and contributed to the day's success: Leslie Boni, Mary Anne Majadillas, Chi Chun Chou, Sharon Hua, Amado Mabul, Cate Liu, Tess Lou, Karen Ruiz, Alexander Oborsky, Angel Gonzalez, Alexis Lee, Paige Viren, Morgan Steele, Joel Ryman, Mary Jo Zenk, Lauryl Gonzalez, Maj-Britt Kimm, and Susan Harker.
Our faculty have been busy researching, authoring, and publishing their work in high-ranking academic journals. Please check out our College of Business Faculty Highlights webpage to see the list of articles published this fall by Angel González, Sharon Hua, Jenny Lin, Angeline Nariswari, James Schaap, Gary Schneider, Sumadhur Shakya, and Heiko Wieland. Congratulations to our esteemed faculty on your outstanding contributions!
