Worldwide | College of Business Annual Report (21)

DEAN’S MESSAGE

and Statistics, produced 77 scholarly articles and revamped its website, allowing for simpler and more eye-pleasing navigation. But we did not stop there. The College of Business also took flight with its two video series titled Vantage Point and Day In The Life. The former serves as a learning venue while the latter serves as a valuable career-guiding tool for our students. As an organization, the College of Business embraces change and thrives on new challenges. The college’s entrepreneurial spirit can be seen in its research partnership with Skytra that is studying the potential of producing risk management tools for the aviation industry. I am proud to say that this is also a mindset that we pass on to all our students. It goes without saying that these accomplishments would not be possible without our students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the college. I invite you to look through our 2021 highlights in the pages that follow. Thank you for your continued support.

Dear friends of the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Worldwide College of Business, Warm greetings to you all. As we sign off the 2021 chapter and welcome 2022, we as a college have much to be proud of, particularly given the challenges related to COVID-19. The faculty and administration of the College of Business, as well as the university, have done a superb job of navigating our students through these challenging times. And of course, I am immensely proud of our students for continuing to excel and continuing to move along their respective degree pathways. This past year has seen us successfully close out our strategic plan for 2018-2021 and establish new goals for the College of Business over the next five years. During this year, the college achieved some very important milestones, including the launch of three new degree programs coined Stackables: Master of Business Administration in Aviation (MBAA), Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM) and Master of Science in Management (MSM). The college also won a major grant from the Bureau of Transportation
