MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT YEAR IN REVIEW, 2018-19

May 1, 2019
News from the Chair

Management Department Chair, Chamu Sundaramurthy, Ph.D.
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.
