Dean's Welcome
Greetings, Hull Alumni and Friends!
Welcome to our latest edition of Inside Hull, keeping you updated on the latest happenings at Augusta University’s James M. Hull College of Business.
Our last issue of Academic Year 2020-2021 brings you a recap of our magnificent Spring 2021 Commencement Ceremony, in which more than 100 Hull degrees were conferred. As always, you will get an inside look at the people of Hull: our students, our faculty and staff, and our alumni.
On the student side, you will learn about our accounting scholarship winners, Tia Askew and Kyle Oldenkamp, and one of our outstanding recent graduates, Jomari Jackson. You will be proud of the work of our faculty and students on projects for our community, including Dr. Marsha Loda’s class doing a social media project for the Greater Augusta Arts Council and Roger Duke’s project management class doing great work with its Compass for Hope project.
Finally, spotlights are provided on Dr. Melissa Furman’s work as a panelist for the Metro Augusta Chamber, one of our outstanding alumni, Rob Appleman, and on our accounting program being named one of the most affordable by University HQ.
As you can see, there is much going on in Hull, and we hope this issue provides you much insight and pride!
Richard (Rick) M. Franza, Ph.D.
Dean
