Members of the College’s prestigious Dean’s Council met on October 11, 2005, at the new Downtown Center at Macy*s. Hosted by Council member N. K. Tripathy<\/strong>, president, Macy*s Florida, the group was given updates about the College of Business Administration from Executive Dean Joyce J. Elam<\/strong> and about its Building for Business Campaign by Annabelle Rojas<\/strong>, director, External Relations and Resource Development for the College. Discussion focused on the College’s strategic planning process, re-affirmation of accreditation preparations, and issues related to the College’s funding and staffing challenges in light of the University’s proposed strategic priorities. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dennis Klinger<\/strong>, vice president and CIO of Florida Power and Light, gave an insightful overview of the energy industry from his firm’s perspective.<\/p>\n

Several of the Chapman Graduate School of Business’s advisory boards\u2014business experts who share tactical and strategic experience with decision-makers in the College\u2014also have been busily involved in their fall round of meetings. The Master of Science-Management Information Systems (MS-MIS) and the Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) advisory boards held their sessions in October. The International MBA (IMBA), the Jamaica MBA in Human Resources Management (Jamaica MBA-HRM), and the Master of Science International Real Estate (MS-IRE) advisory board meetings are slated for November.<\/p>\n

At a highly productive afternoon session, the MS-MIS advisory board worked through a packed agenda. A number of Chapman School staff members made presentations\u2014spanning internships and mentoring to College accreditation and assurance of learning. Both Jos\u00e9 de la Torre<\/strong>, dean of the School, and Irma Becerra-Fernandez<\/strong>, associate professor of decision sciences and information systems and faculty director of the MS-MIS program, provided updates. Forty-five-minute breakout sessions examined recruiting and marketing, scholarships, and developed a profile of the ideal student.<\/p>\n

“To continue to attract talented students, Dean de la Torre wants to create an endowment,” said Natalia Echeverr\u00eda<\/strong>, corporate relations manager for the Chapman School. “So, scholarships played an important part in his presentation and in the team breakouts.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The intense working schedule was followed by a reception on the terrace of the Biltmore Hotel, affording MS-MIS alumni, students, faculty, and board members the chance to network and socialize.<\/p>\n

The EMBA advisory board held a breakfast meeting in the MARC building on the Modesto A. Maidique Campus. It was the board’s second gathering. Two key items were up for discussion: how to structure the program’s schedule of electives and how to market and recruit students for the program.<\/p>\n

“Board members decided to let the faculty and staff resolve the electives matter,” Echeverr\u00eda said. “They focused instead on the marketing and recruiting issues, which prompted a passionate dialogue.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We approached the question in the same way we’d approach a business problem, making a business case out of the challenge,” said Luis Tapanes<\/strong>, program manager at Beckman Coulter. “Our group includes people with extensive leadership and business skills and a great variety of experience. Because of that variety, we looked at the same information in many different ways and came up with a number of ideas to explore further.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
