Put a group of the college\u2019s business partners and members of the staff together over lunch and you get a great result. Anyway, that\u2019s always been the case at the annual Business Partners Luncheon. This year was no exception.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were pleased to have about 85 guests, including members of our seven Chapman School advisory boards, Dean\u2019s Council, Alumni Circle, Latin American Forum, Latin American Human Resources Forum, Chapman Executive Committee, and corporate friends of Executive and Professional Education (EPE),\u201d said Natalia Echeverr\u00eda Sol<\/strong>, director, corporate relations. Her office coordinated the event, which took place on November 21, 2006, at The Palm in Merrick Park.<\/p>\n

Joyce J. Elam<\/strong>, executive dean, and Jos\u00e9 de la Torre<\/strong>, dean of the Chapman School, addressed the group, which included program managers who have advisory boards as well as staff members with external relations responsibilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth deans expressed their heartfelt gratitude to everyone there, thanking them for their help and recapping for them some recent achievements, such as our rankings and the progress on our new building complex,\u201d Echeverr\u00eda Sol said.<\/p>\n

Guests send their thanks.<\/em><\/p>\n

The guests clearly enjoyed the chance to reconnect with colleagues and meet others who share their enthusiasm for the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
