Ourso College’s recent efforts to improve educational and professional opportunities for our students and also to chart a path through the challenges we face to ensure continuous improvement into the future. I am grateful to everyone who contributed to this effort,” said Timothy Chandler, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs and Assessment.
“I am extremely proud that the commitment and accomplishments of our faculty, staff, and students were once again recognized by the AACSB. Looking forward, we will continue to provide our students with high quality and innovative educational, research, and professional opportunities, and we will do so with a commitment to ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all those in the college. Our future is looking brighter than ever,” added Jared Llorens, Dean of the E. J. Ourso College of Business.
