Dean's Welcome
Greetings, Hull Alumni and Friends!
While our thermostats and calendars tell us we are in the middle of summer at the Hull College of Business, summer is winding down, and we are anxiously preparing for the start of a new academic year with fall semester classes beginning on August 11.
We had a great summer at Hull, and we wrap it up in this final summer edition of Inside Hull. The highlight of our summer was the graduation of our latest cohort of MBA graduates, and you will read about our graduation celebration and our MBA Student of the Year award winner.
In addition, you will also find a Grad Spotlight on recent graduate, Anissa Cordova, who not only was a great student in Hull but also a member of the Hull team as an outstanding student assistant in the Career and Academic Planning (CAP) Center. You will learn about another great ranking for the Hull College along with updates on our faculty and staff, including how our faculty used the pandemic to facilitate their research.
Finally, you will find the schedule for fall information sessions for our award-winning MBA programs. Our campus and online programs have been recognized as top programs by Princeton Review (Best Business Schools) and U.S. News and World Report. Our campus MBA program reached capacity this fall, but we have openings for the spring semester that begins in January 2022. Please let your network know about our information sessions if anyone is interested in pursuing a top-flight MBA.
Enjoy this issue of Inside Hull, and we look forward to updating you on the upcoming academic year in future issues.
Richard (Rick) M. Franza, Ph.D.
Dean
