Thanks for opening up the 2017 edition of the Management and Marketing Department Newsletter. I am excited to share with you some of the great things happening in the department this year, and even more excited that you are interested in hearing from us!
As department chair, I am always pleased when our faculty take on new challenges, especially when they directly impact our students. With so many unique disciplines represented in our department (including management, marketing, entrepreneurship, production and operations management, business ethics, and international business), you never know where the next innovation will come from. This year, one of our more significant additions to the student experience is coming from Instructor Joel Petry, who is leading SIUE’s first-ever team in competition at the National Collegiate Sales Competition in Kennesaw, Ga.
Also in this issue of the newsletter, you’ll read Management and Marketing Department alumni, student and faculty highlights. So read on, and thank you for staying connected with the Management and Marketing Department. As always, I invite you to share your own exciting stories (awesome job stories, fun SIUE memories, and so on) by emailing me at ehershb@siue.edu.
Regards,
Dr. Edmund Hershberger
