Message from the Chair
Laurel Franzen, Ph.D.
This past year has challenged us like never before; yet as I reflect on what we’ve accomplished and how we’ve triumphed, I am amazed. As teachers, we return to campus with a whole new skillset; our students return more informed, agile and confident. We all return with a new understanding of what it means to be compassionate and resilient. I want to thank my accounting colleagues for their tremendous efforts, our students for staying positive amidst uncertainty, and our alumni and donors for their unwavering support. This year’s newsletter is filled with inspiring stories and messages of hope and renewal. Happy reading and I hope to see you soon!
