Dean's Welcome
Welcome to the April 2021 edition of Inside Hull! While the academic year is quickly coming to a close, things have not slowed down in the Hull College. In this edition, we’ll give an inside look at all the great things that have been recently accomplished by the people of the Hull College.
First, I’d like to thank all of our alumni and friends who participated in AU’s annual “Augusta Gives.” On April 21, the Hull College received more than $5,000 in donations. We appreciate your great support!
In this issue, we have some great stories about the people and programs of Hull. You’ll read about great student accomplishments as we inducted our best and brightest in Beta Gamma Sigma, wrapped up our Women’s Leadership Academy, and had one of our top undergraduates, Megan Tychsen, win a campus research presentation award. Finally, you will read about two brothers who are pursuing their MBA together.
We had many great events this month! We launched our newest Hull tradition, “Hull Declaration Day,” where we welcomed our rising Hull juniors into the College. We welcomed three executives from Club Car for our final Business Showcase of the year, and one of our Economics classes toured SRP Park, home of the Augusta GreenJackets.
In terms of our faculty and programs, Dr. Peter Basciano and Dr. Wendy Habegger’s efforts in providing a Financial Literacy Workshop for AU Graduate Students is highlighted along with the Hull College being recognized as a “Notable Program” by the Sales Education Foundation.
It’s been a great year in Hull despite the challenges of the pandemic. We look forward to May 13 when approximately 100 new Hull graduates will cross the stage to accept their degrees.
Thanks for your support of the Hull College, and Go Jags!
Richard (Rick) M. Franza, Ph.D.
