- Welcome from Dean Durand
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Kogod School of Business for the 2005-06 academic year. As the new dean, I can assure you that this year promises to be an exciting one for everyone at Kogod. The faculty and staff at Kogod fully understand that educating and preparing future business leaders has become increasingly complex due to the unprecedented challenges in the environment within which business operates. In order to help you succeed in the marketplace, we focus on: a) building a global perspective throughout our curriculum, b) the blending of theory with practice, c) cross-disciplinary opportunities both within the Kogod School of Business and with other academic units, and d) helping you establish networks of colleagues in business, technology, and government. I might add that we attempt to do all of these things with a personal touch that can only come from a dedicated faculty concerned about teaching and a dedicated staff who understands service.
I look forward to meeting with you during this academic year.
