West Side Alumni Connections
The College of Business and Public Administration hosted two successful west-side events in February. On February 19, Dean Fuller met with a west-side Advisory Board to discuss ways the University and College could become more visible in the greater Seattle area. The meeting was attended by seven business leaders and alums. The group decided to form the Board and identifies an annual meting schedule. In addition, they would like to consider fund-raising projects such as golf-outings to support the College. This meeting was immediately followed by a reception in the Hilton Hotel. All told about 20 people attended the event and feedback to date has been very encouraging. One member of the Board of Trustees, Neil Mc Reynolds, also attended the reception. It was truly a great day to be an eagle in Seattle!

Winter 2009 - CBPA Newsletter
Winter 2009 Newsletter
College of Business & Public Administration
2009 may be one of the snowiest winters on record before we see spring! With all the snow, fog, and other weather wonders, we are definitely in the midst of the winter months of the year. Clearly 2008 was a “year of extremes,” let’s hope 2009 will approach spring like a “lamb.”
Business Accreditation
Dean Rex Fuller announced recently that the AACSB Board of Directors has confirmed the unanimous recommendation of the review panel that our accreditation be extended for the full five year period. This decision means that we are on the normal review cycle for the next accreditation review and that we are not subject to a sixth year review as recommended by the peer-review team. The remand panel supported the team’s report that the business programs were to be commended on the strengths and effective practices by having strong advisory board support and a faculty dedicated to continuous improvement; locating programs to better serve our students in Bellevue and Spokane; and our effective MBA program. Additionally, areas that the college needs to show continuous improvement were to continue monitoring the adequacy of faculty qualifications, especially in accounting, and refine its assurance of learning plan (assessment).
Upcoming Events for Winter Quarter

He will share some of the challenges and solutions he’s discovered along the way. To this end, any faculty member who is curious about potentially using competitive simulations in the classroom might find something of interest. His focus will be on providing an overview of the tool in such a manner as to facilitate evaluation on the part of the graduate faculty as to whether or not this would useful to the MBA capstone. He will also offer some comparisons between simulations and the case method having taught both styles.
