MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN Transitions and connections. We have come to a time of transition. Dean Dixie Mills will be leaving us. She takes with her our deepest gratitude for her leadership, vision, compassion, and commitment to the students and faculty of the College of Business at Illinois State University. I am humbled and honored by the opportunity to serve the college as interim dean for the next two years. The College of Business at Illinois State has been on a continuing upward arc of excellence for many years. That momentum must be maintained and even accelerated during this time of transition. It is vital that we capitalize on the good work that has gone before us, even as we move through changes in leadership. With the help of our faculty and staff, our advisory boards, our alumni, and our students, we will continue on the path to even greater distinction. I look forward to the opportunity to help mold that future. Perhaps the most important job I have over the next two years will be to build even stronger connections with our alumni and our friends in business and industry. Alumni involvement has always been critical to our success. Alumni serve on our advisory boards, act as mentors and role models and provide career networking for students. They also create real-world opportunities for students through collaborative projects and intern- ships. As you read this issue you will see our alumni are generous with their time, their talents, and their expertise, willingly sharing it with the students who follow them through the College of Business. I encourage each of you to consider reconnecting with us as we continue our tradition of excellence. IllinoisState.edu/business 1
