“We have very exciting initiatives lined up for the upcoming Spring semester! First, we are launching a course on ‘Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition’ taught by Neil Pollard, one of our new Entrepreneurship faculty. A lot of small businesses are facing retiring ownership, and the transfer of these businesses to new owners will be a large part of our economy for the next couple of decades. Students will learn how to identify opportunities in this space, how to value the assets, and how to make the transition successful, along with a lot of other cool topics around the question.
Second, one of our renowned finance professors, Adam Schor, will be teaching a course, both for MBA students and undergraduates, where students will get the opportunity to manage part of our endowment – incredible hands-on experience!
Lastly, the MBA program will be teaming up with Stacy Dversgdal, the University’s Chief HR Officer, to offer a course on Strategic Talent Management. This is a very exciting opportunity that will not only allow our program to enhance, but also extend its outreach further and recruit more students.” – Rey Hernández-Julián, Interim Associate Dean
