“As you start your journey, the first thing you should do is throw away that store-bought map and begin to draw your own.”            – Michael Dell

Welcome to the summer 2018 issue of Jewell Business Today!

As we say goodbye to the class of 2018 we know we are sending them into a world that is in a state of constant change. We know that they will take jobs in the future that don’t even exist right now. We know they will have new experiences, create new things and engage the world in ways we can’t even imagine. And we know they are prepared. We don’t educate with a road map at Jewell; rather we educate map-makers who create their own path. We focus on critical thinking. We calibrate our educational process to confront those changes head on so our alumni are prepared to map their own path.

So, to our alumni, new and old, and to our many other friends – create your routes and explore new territories. We are proud of you and excited to see where your adventures take you.

Please take a moment to catch up on the news and accomplishments within the Department of Business and Leadership in this issue of Jewell Business Today.

Sincerely,

Dr. Kelli Schutte, Chair of the Department of Business and Leadership
