Welcome to the 2019 edition of the Department of Management and Marketing newsletter! I am always eager to share the exciting things happening with our faculty, students and alumni with you, so let’s get right into it.
You may recall in last year’s installment, we were planning to host the first annual Summer Entrepreneurship Academy (SEA) for high school students. I am pleased to report that the 2018 SEA was such a success we are bringing it back for 2019. This summer, Instructor Katie Robberson will once again be challenging young entrepreneurs to transform their creative ideas into actual businesses. And for my money, there’s nothing more exciting than seeing the next generation of entrepreneurs find their place in the world.
Here we grow again! I am also very excited to inform you of another expected addition to the faculty. Yohan Choi will be joining the department in the fall semester as an assistant professor in strategic management and entrepreneurship. He is currently a doctoral candidate at Oregon State University, and we all look forward to his arrival and his expected contributions to the department teaching and scholarship.
Read on to learn about some more exciting things happening in the Department of Management and Marketing, including alumni, student and faculty highlights. Thank you for staying connected with the department. As always, I invite you to share your own exciting stories (awesome job stories, fun SIUE memories, and so on) at ehershb@siue.edu.
