Dear Students and Colleagues,
We have a lot of news to share this month! We have hosted events, members of our faculty have been published and cited in the media, and our students have been honing their leadership skills.
I encourage you to consider attending our session on the Future of Work and the Workplace on March 29. The event is sponsored by the Willumstad School’s Elizabeth and Allen Don Center for Innovative Technology and Decision Sciences. The center is gaining a reputation for engaging events that draw a crowd and feature industry leaders as panelists.
