The Exchange: February 2026 Dean's Message

February 3, 2026

As we begin a new semester, I’m reminded just how dynamic and connected our College of Business community is.

December was a meaningful close to the fall term as we celebrated our graduates at commencement and honored the achievements of our MSAA and MSBA students. Watching our students reach these milestones is always one of the most rewarding parts of this role.

January has brought fresh energy back to campus. We welcomed new students through our spring onboarding programs, reconnected at events like Lunch with the Dean and officially opened our newly renovated Texas Roadhouse Student Space — a place designed to support collaboration, connection and student success.

I’ve also enjoyed spending time with students, alumni and partners through events such as the Cardinal Sales Competition, GLI Capitol Connection and our welcome reception for our new provost and CFO. These moments reflect the strength of our relationships and the momentum building across the college and university.

Thank you for being part of this community. I look forward to another exciting semester ahead.

Warmly,
Dean Amy Henley
