Dr. David Yen, Dean Jesse H. Jones School of Business Greetings
One of the most important news matters for 2021-2022 is that the JHJ School of Business successfully received a five-year extension of the ACCSB accreditation. This success is truly an indication of the accomplishments made by all JHJ School faculty and staff. Faculty demonstrated a consistent record of intellectual contributions, a consistent effort to improve the student’s learning, a continuation of outstanding services to our students and community and most importantly, the active pursuit to develop and maintain partnerships and business networking. Thanks to our staff for their dedication to keep high quality advising, develop concrete scholarship and internship opportunities, maintain web content and IT support, facilitate routine operations, and perform the needed support to contribute to the success of the JHJ School of Business. Two noteworthy statements from the AACSB program review team (PRT) are i. The enthusiasm and firm commitment from the Business Advisory Council (BAC) and Alumni Chapter, and ii. The high quality educational learning demonstrated by JHJ’s undergraduates and graduate students groups. Certainly, there are some suggestions for improvement to meet the next AACSB accreditation review. i. Concentrating more on high quality intellectual contributions. ii. Continuing to improve the AoL assessment and paying attention to the “close loop“ activities. iii. Demonstrating more innovation in future teaching, research and services, and iv. Improving faculty qualification and sufficiency with successful new hires. Thanks to the assistance from the ACCSB steering committee (Chaired by Dr. Kun Wang) and all JHJ School standing committees, internal and external stakeholders. The success of this academic accreditation is truly our most critical milestone for future success in the next couple of years. Special recognition will go to the program review team including Dr. Firku Boghossian of Morgan State University (chair), Dr. Joy Smith (member) of Elizabeth City State University, and Dr. Emmanuel Omojokun (member) of Virginia State University.
