Message from Associate Dean, Dr. Kevin Jackson

Last week we held our first Undergraduate Town Hall. There are so many people to thank for planning the event and the reception afterward, but my greatest appreciation goes to the students who showed up.  Some great questions were asked and many of them were challenging, but I left the event with a heart full of encouragement. Community starts with relationships, and relationships start with being invested. Given the candor and courage displayed in Deloitte Auditorium that evening, we have students who are undoubtedly invested in Gies College of Business. I look forward to keeping the conversation going!  Stay warm, everyone!
