From The Dean (December 2021)

The holiday season is upon us, and compared to a year ago, the world feels like a much more hopeful space. Having students back on campus this semester has been a refreshing reminder of why our work at the College of Business matters so much. We are helping our students to “own tomorrow”—for themselves, their community, and the betterment of all.

The story of Currency is the story we all have a hand in writing. That impact is evident in how our recent MBA cohort came together to honor classmate Stanley Hall’s memory. Our ability to endure a tragedy like Stanley’s untimely passing and to build from it something positive, like providing a scholarship to someone in need, speaks to the heart of the College of Business.

As you read through this issue of Currency, we encourage you to engage with us and contribute to our continuing story of transforming lives. Perhaps it’s making a gift to an endowment like the Stanley Hall Character Award. Maybe that investment into tomorrow is providing an internship opportunity to our students. Maybe it is something we have not yet had the imagination to consider. There is a wide range of ways to invest in the virtuous cycle we have strived to initiate at the College. Help us help our students own tomorrow.

I wish you and those you cherish a joyous holiday season and thank you for being a part of our story.
