University of Montana School of Business Administration Dean’s Report 2014-2015

Each year, I look forward to working with our team in assembling the annual Dean’s Report. I am always astounded when I review the number and quality of projects, programs and activities that have occurred in the past year. A few of these are highlighted in the 2014-2015 Dean’s Report.

Student Success: Although we have multiple goals in the School of Business at any one time, our primary mission is assuring student success. We have featured a few success stories of current students, as well as shared with you the stories of a few of our graduates. I hope you’ll enjoy reading about these present and former students as much as I have.

Business Minor: Beginning this fall, the School of Business will offer a minor in business to all students on the University of Montana campus. This is truly a milestone in the history of the University and of the Business School. As we see ourselves developing highly interdisciplinary programs within the business school, we believe it is our responsibility to answer the demand for business education by making it possible for students across campus to acquire a minor in business.

New Facility: Another milestone for both the School of Business and the University of Montana is the addition of a new facility. Approximately 20 years ago we moved in to the William and Rosemary Gallagher Business Building which, to this day, is still frequently referred to as the "new business building." When you visit campus this summer or next fall, you will see the Gallagher building’s next door neighbor. Just west of the Gallagher Building is the Harold and Priscilla Gilkey Building for Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Executive Education. We believe this new building will help the business school maintain its role as the premier provider of business education in the state of Montana.

Along with the contributions of William and Rosemary Gallagher, and Harold and Priscilla Gilkey, we would like to thank each one of you for the support you have given to the business school over the years. I know I speak for the students, the staff and the faculty in thanking you for helping us establish and maintain our leadership role in business education. Your involvement enables us to provide state of the art facilities and world class faculty for our students, helping us ensure they have every possible opportunity for success.
