GREEN LIGHT for Freshmen!
This fall, the OCOB will offer a unique course sequence to a cohort of incoming first year students in the Business Administration major. Green Light invites students with a solid mathematics background to enroll in several business courses in the first year; postpones several general education courses to enable business students to participate more actively in study abroad programs; and offers students the opportunity to be a part of a learning community or "cohort" where mutual sharing of educational opportunities enriches the first year experience. The program is designed to respond to the needs of first year students who desire an accelerated program.
Lynn Metcalf (Marketing) received the Eugene O'Connor Professional Development Award in June 2005. The grant will be used to fund the development of two cases (one on Meathead Movers and the other on the California Cabaret Theatre) to support the marketing area's new curriculum.
