I am very proud of the many accomplishments of the Management Department faculty and students during the 2018-19 academic year. With input from our Advisory Board, we engaged in significant review of our undergraduate program, incorporating a professionalism and career management component in our required internship course. Our nationally recognized entrepreneurship specialization is also being updated with a focus on further integrating the curriculum with the co-curricular and hands-on activities offered by the Zip Launchpad and the Lavin Entrepreneurship Center, which was named the 2018 NASDAQ Center of Entrepreneurial Excellence by the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers. A new HR analytics course which will be offered during the upcoming year will serve to update our HR specialization.
The department was also pleased to partner with WD-40 to host their global HR team at SDSU for an evening of interaction with our HR students, with CEO Garry Ridge leading and facilitating discussions.
