The College of Business prides itself on preparing our students to become global leaders. Our culture of student centricity can be seen at all levels and through the many initiatives undertaken by the college.

Dr. Stephanie Douglas speaks to this culture:

“As a faculty member, I am deeply committed to our students’ success. My goal is to identify all opportunities that impart a highly positive student experience. In my courses, I challenge students to look for meaning and application in the various theories and foundations. OBLD 535 is a course I developed that focuses on the organizational life cycle and the design of the organizational structure. For students to understand these concepts, I built a simulation in which students lead an organization from the start-up phase to its decline and needed transformation. The company is a startup venture with an eVOTL (electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft) product. By developing and embedding this work in the course, students can experiment with various strategies to lead a company through its life cycle. The approach of connecting students to real-life scenarios has been received enthusiastically by my students.”
