The Business Spotlight is sent periodically to announce the achievements, goals, and activities of the Business Department and its students.
· Homecoming Events Successful!
Thumbs up to our business students who participated in the Career Connections event on Thursday and Leadership Forum on Friday. By all indications, these were the most highly attended student events during homecoming weekend. You are making other departments jealous! We are processing the sign-in sheets to make sure that you get credit for appropriate attendance and bonus points.
· Business Alumni say, WOW!
About 30 business department alumni attended a special reception and update on Saturday morning after the alumni breakfast. Brock Shaffer (Sr Mgmt major) presented information about SIFE/PBL activities, Mr. Schmidly and Michael Johnson (Sr, Acct major) shared about the Student Investment Group, and Ashley Gingerich (Sr. Mrkt/Intl Multi-culture studies major) and Andrew Grumke (Soph Mrkt/digital arts major) showed the promotional materials and explained the creative ways that the department is reaching out to current and prospective students. The Alumni said they were super impressed with these student presentations and the opportunities that students have to practice what they learn. One alumnus later pledged $10,000 for an endowed business scholarship!
· Gut Check Time on your Courses!
Struggling with a class??? The last day for students to withdraw from a class with a "W" is October 28. After that date, a withdrawal will be accompanied with a WP (withdraw passing) or WF (withdraw failing). The withdraw failing will affect your GPA and only a retake of the class with a higher grade will eliminate the effect.
· Student Achievements
Congratulations to Kristen Ostrem (Sr Mgmt/Mrkt major) and Stephanie Yonke (Sr Engl major/Mgmt minor) for being honored this past weekend as members of the 2011 Homecoming Court. Three business students have been selected to represent the business department at Springfield Rotary this year. Allison Fontaine (Sr Mgmt/Intercultural Studies major), Cameron Allison (Sr. Mgmt major), and Daylea Duvall (Fr Acct major) will have an opportunity to join with the Rotary Club members at lunch and share briefly about their EU experience.
Elizabeth Hensley (Sr Finance major) and Molly Hurt (Jr Mrkt major) have been selected respectively as recipients of the Wachovia and Enterprise Rental Car scholarships received through the Missouri Colleges Fund. Jose Socorro (Jr Mgmt major) is the first Evangel student to receive the Platinum SIFE Service Leadership Award for recording 500 hours of service through Students in Free Enterprise activities. Two of our international students, Maria Martinez (Sr Art major/Mgmt minor) from Mexico and Lyvia Gomes (Soph Mgmt major) from Brazil are having successful fall seasons with the EU Tennis team. Maria will be a member of the EU doubles team that is competing for the NAIA-ITA National Championship in Mobile Alabama this week. Go Maria!!!
Stay tuned for more Business Spotlights!
