Dear friends of the CWU College of Business, As we reflect on the achievements and milestones of our learners, it brings me immense pride to share the remarkable success stories in the CWU College of Business. The spirit of dedication, perseverance, and innovation that they embody is truly commendable. Throughout the year, our learners have engaged in transformative experiences, both inside and outside the classroom, leading to personal enrichment and professional growth. They have also demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their respective fields. With learner success at the heart of our mission, our faculty and staff have played a crucial role in nurturing their talents and ambitions. Their unwavering support, mentorship, and commitment to academic and inclusive excellence contribute significantly to the overall success of our College of Business. As we celebrate the accomplishments of our learners, we also acknowledge the collaborative efforts of the entire College of Business community — faculty, staff, alumni, and industry partners. Together, we create an environment that fosters learning, creativity, and success. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to each one of our learners for their dedication and hard work. Your achievements are a testament to the quality education and opportunities provided by the College of Business. May your success inspire future generations of learners to reach new heights.

One of my goals in joining the council was to engage with students because sometimes, even the smallest thing can move them in a direction they hadn’t considered. The members of the Advisory Council have an opportunity to provide young people with the knowledge and experience we have gained, and potentially show them a path they didn’t know existed. I have found that this is one of the most rewarding aspects of my position. The Advisory Council has provided me and our other members with opportunities to help students achieve success, however they define it. I look forward to working with Dean Faiza Khoja as she builds on all of the success that Central enjoys. Her vision for the College of Business and its students is inspiring, and she will provide the foundation to take us to the next level. Julie Back
Building Pillars for Student Success
Hello Voyage readers! I am pleased to be starting my first year as the Chair of the College of Business Advisory Council. For the past five years, I have been honored to be a member of this great group of people who are committed to making the CWU College of Business a place that helps students build the foundation they need to take the next steps in their journey. I initially joined the board as a way to give back to a school that gave me so much. As a young student, I didn’t have a lot of guidance from my parents or high school counselors. But, sometimes, fate smiles and puts you in the place you are meant to be. Central provided me with the strong education and the skills necessary to create a fulfilling career.
COLLEGE OF BUSINESS VISION To provide a transformative educational experience that enables learners to achieve their personal and professional aspirations, contributing to building a sustainable and equitable future in a rapidly changing world.
