2014-15 GONZAGA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Annual Digest
Hello from Spokane. The 2015-16 academic year is under way so it’s time for the fall issue of the Gonzaga University School of Business Administration digest. There has been a lot going on: let’s get to it! Last fall, I wrote of the increased competition within all business schools. Not all have been successful but I am happy to report that we are doing very well: » We continue to EXCEL. This year, we are beginning our AACSB selfstudy as only one of approximately 185 business schools worldwide to hold joint accreditation in business and accounting. We were recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best business schools in the country and our accounting, marketing, MBA, and MAcc programs also garnered national recognition. Whether in pass rates, placement, or competitions, our students continue to shine. » Our business school continues to ENGAGE with individuals and organizations. We have increased our number of advisory boards, we have rolled out a number of different networking events, we have expanded our “Careers in...” series, and we continue to be a strong supporter of the Trek program. » We are also moving forward with embracing our Jesuit legacy. There are a number of ways that we are attempting to INSPIRE others, including our emphases on ethics and social responsibility in our curriculums as well as our efforts in the area of learning-by-doing. We have much to look forward to in this academic year. We are now offering degrees in Sustainable Business (Minor), Digital Marketing (Minor), and a Master of Science in Taxation. We have introduced professional development courses for our students and are offering financial support for
students traveling to competitions, Treks, and other activities. This fall, we welcomed Jim Alling, CEO of TOMS Shoes for our annual Aram Lecture (part of Ethics Week), Nike’s Greg Bui for our Dean’s Breakfast Forum, and Dr. John C. Williams, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Finally, this summer we officially opened the Hemmingson Finance Lab; it is a great facility and we are excited to integrate it into all we do. As you read this digest and learn about the number of excellent things our students, staff, and faculty are doing, I am sure you will agree with me that we are well on our way to fulfilling our vision of being “an exemplar of Jesuit business education.” Thank you for your continued support and best wishes for yet another great academic year. Sincerely,
Ken Anderson, Ph.D. Interim Dean, School of Business Administration

Jack H. Hemmingson Finance Lab On April 9, Gonzaga’s School of Business Administration officially dedicated the new Jack H. Hemmingson Finance Lab with an enthusiastic crowd of alumni, community leaders, Gonzaga students, faculty, staff, and administration. Across the country, business schools are opening finance labs and trading rooms at a rate of nearly 30 per year. This reflects a growing need to provide 21st century business students with hands-on opportunities for learning about markets, finance, and trading. Due to work begun by Bud Barnes, and now funded with a lead gift, the Hemmingson Finance Lab began operations with classes in the summer 2015 session. Technology offers real-world experience
Located near the west entrance to the Jepson Center, this state-of-the-art facility will have an immediate impact on students, the business community, and the region. This finance lab will provide students an opportunity to combine advanced experiential learning with traditionally strong curriculum in liberal arts and business. This renovation completely transformed a former classroom into an active collaborative space replete with advanced analytic, simulative and real-time trading information and technology. This will allow the School of Business Administration, working with community partners, to broaden the School’s educational offerings to the greater Spokane region.
Specifications
• 900 sq. ft. • 24 dual-screen workstations • 2 - 75” touch-overlay displays • 1 - 75” monitor framed by 2 large clear boards • 45’ stock ticker • Access to multiple financial databases Special thanks

As you can see, they exceeded last year’s numbers – well done crew. That’s a real impact for people in need. Special recognition to a few who went above and beyond the call of duty, namely Dov Zellinger, Kaelyn Baker, Kelli Corbett, Mollie Murphy, Samantha Hoadley, Alex Floryanovich, the student coordinators, and everyone else who answered the call when support was needed. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Aram Lecture Scott Maw, Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer for Starbucks Coffee Company, came to Gonzaga’s Jepson Center to speak to, “What is the Role and Responsibility of a For-Profit Public Company?” at the 6th annual Aram Lecture on Business Ethics. The Wolff Auditorium was filled with students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members. Maw discussed Starbucks’ “performance-driven through the lens of humanity” approach to business. He also addressed how Starbucks is building a future with farmers, of pioneering green retail on a global scale, and creating pathways to opportunity for young people. Maw is responsible for the company’s global finance organization. Prior to this role, Maw served as senior vice president of corporate finance where he was responsible for corporate finance, including accounting, tax and treasury.
Maw also had oversight for all financial and securities-related regulatory filings. He graduated from Gonzaga University in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, and joined Starbucks as global controller in 2011. This endowed lecture serves as a tribute to John Aram, a former Gonzaga Trustee and benefactor whose long and dedicated service to the forest industry spurred Weyerhaeuser Company, Boise Cascade Corp., Potlatch Corp., the George F. Jewett Foundation, and many industry associates and friends to establish John L. Aram Chair of Business Ethics at Gonzaga. Professor Brian Steverson has held this chair with great distinction since fall 2008. Mr. Aram’s life exemplified a commitment to ethical values in both his business and personal endeavors, so the lecture series is designed to provide students with a better understanding of business and government ethical issues.

Preparing for the Future In 2011, the School of Business established an event called, “Careers in Finance: A Day in the Life” giving students the opportunity to listen to a panel of professionals talk about their careers and share helpful tips like: what does it take to land that dream job, how should I network, what are firms looking for in potential employees, and what does it take to get your resume seen. The school has now expanded to include career days in finance, marketing, human resource management, and has plans to expand the series to all disciplines in the future.
Panelists:
Katy Bruya ’99, Washington Trust Bank Krisann Hatch, Archbright Greg Husted, Umpqua Bank Erin A. Jacobson, City of Spokane Juanita Jiminez, Spokane Club
Careers in human resource management
On February 9th, nine panelists from the School of Business’ Human Resource Management Advisory Board worked with the Gonzaga student chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to offer, “Careers in Human Resource Management.” Nine members of the advisory board shared expertise in different areas of HR across a range of industries, answered questions from the student group, and took additional questions from the audience. After the panel concluded, there was a networking lunch where panelists joined students for networking and additional questions about the field of HR. When asked what made her work in human resource management both inspiring and rewarding, one panelist said, “It is a privilege to be a part of people’s lives in their highest and their lowest moments.” She went on to describe how her job has allowed her to help people with difficult management problems such as terminating an employee, and to help others with joyful times, such as adding a new spouse or child to their health insurance plan. “I can take the information and advice I’ve received and look for careers in the professional world in both a marketing and HR field,” one student said afterward. “I found their advice on passion to be very important. It is very important to be passionate about what you do and the company you work for, otherwise you cannot be successful.”

Real World Experience Experiential learning is becoming all too important in higher education as students develop knowledge, skills, and values from direct experiences outside a traditional academic setting. It encompasses a variety of activities including internships, service learning, undergraduate research, study abroad, and other creative and professional work experiences. In 2014, the School of Business created BUSN 489 Multidisciplinary Action Projects, a project-based course designed to give hands-on, real world experience on one or more projects for businesses in our community. These projects could include developing a branding strategy, designing a compensation system, or evaluating a new idea or opportunity. The projects cross all areas of organizational life and require student teams to bring a variety of skills and knowledge bases to the work. Students work in small teams along with a contact person from the sponsoring organization and a faculty resource person. Together, the scope of the project, expectations, roles, and deliverables are defined. Among the deliverables are a final written report from each student, a team report, and an oral presentation. Katie Cronin, a student from the fall semester projects class, created the following video sharing highlights from this class https://youtu.be/0sLIvo8fQoo. Following are summaries for both the fall and the spring semester projects: FALL 2014 2nd Harvest Food Bank: Four students worked with the CEO of 2nd Harvest to propose ideas for use of the institutional kitchen being built

Real World Experience Continued from previous page
and scheduled to open in 2015. The students met with 2nd Harvest board members and focused their consultation on security, pricing structure, and additional costs. From their analysis, they created and presented the “Trusted Partner Concept,” whereby potential renters of “The Kitchen” trade volunteer time for payment in lieu of a rental fee. The team helped create a mutually beneficial relationship between 2nd Harvest and the greater Spokane community. Imagine Children’s Museum: Three students worked with the Everett-based Imagine Children’s Museum to create a comprehensive marketing plan. Imagine was experiencing a drop in admission and membership sales and had never used a formalized marketing plan. The students developed a marketing plan to raise awareness of the museum, grow admission and membership numbers, and attract new customer groups. Spokane Neighborhood Action Project (SNAP): Two students developed a marketing strategy for SNAP, including a community education piece. SNAP offers many different services that are unrecognized by the public and the students were challenged to focus their marketing analysis and promote the different programs with a limited budget. The project provided consultation for marketing strategies that addressed budgetary constraints giving SNAP new tools to increase community awareness of their broad services, volunteers, clients, and donors. Washington Trust Bank (WTB): The approach taken by WTB was to ask the four student team to envision the “bank of the future” by tapping into their generational view on current technology and its effect on the banking industry. One key concept was gaming in the banking industry. While not a new concept, gaming was presented to a generation that might not have been familiar with it. The students presented their ideas to a packed boardroom of WTB executives. This broad topic required innovation, a great deal of creativity, and the ability to engage with the members of the banking team.

SPRING 2015
Tomlinson Real Estate Group (TREG): TREG asked the student team to develop a social media strategy for their agents. One challenge was the wide variability in the individual agents’ understanding and personal use of social media. The team conducted research in the area of social media and their proposal focused on three areas: how social media can benefit an agent, examples of how social media can be used effectively by real estate agents, and tips for using social media. These students presented their final report to the TREG management and agents group at their monthly sales meeting. Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho (GSEWNI): The task for this two person team was to deliver a marketing plan with social media recommendations. At the end of the semester, the student team provided an outline for a nurturing program that will allow for a higher percentage of alumnae to remain engaged after graduation, a communication strategy that will encourage inactive alumnae to reengage, and a social media strategy that will build engagement and awareness of GSEWNI to encourage more alumnae to become involved. It created a much-needed integrated marketing message that can be used across all communication platforms. Spokane Eastside Reunion Association (SERA): SERA sought to improve the Eastside neighborhood by employing students in a startup restaurant that included a mentoring program. The students were challenged to narrow the scope of very broad deliverables and in the end provided highly valuable consultation including a timeline, financial data and a training program delivered to the real estate developer, the restaurant owner, and two members from their banking team. YMCA of the Inland Northwest: The students created a strategy to increase member giving for the YMCA 2016 Campaign and help members and employees understand that the YMCA is more than a beautiful gym. Three students collected and analyzed the data gathered in conversations with
YMCA leadership across the nation, from surveys and observation. The leaders for this project also involved the students directly with their events. Their presentation was delivered to the President and CEO, the project coordinators at the YMCA of the Inland Northwest, and a number of other organizational leaders. NOTABLE REFLECTIONS FROM THE STUDENTS:
• “The project gave me many consulting and project management tools, and the guest speakers taught me the importance of networking and the differences in presentation styles. I am very pleased with the knowledge I gained, the experience I had, and the overall outcome of the course. The ambiguity was very beneficial, the guest speakers added immeasurable value, and the opportunities to learn about and practice presentation skills were extremely constructive and helpful. I loved the course, and am very thankful to all those who made it possible. Roll Zags.” • “This semester, the Multi-Disciplinary Action Project has been incredibly valuable to me because of the opportunities I have had to practice both technical accounting, as well as soft skills that will benefit me in my career. The opportunity to work with a non-profit, to work with entrepreneurs, and to explore the restaurant industry has taught me many interesting things about this part of the economy, but also about people, how they work, and how to work with them.” • “This class has been one of my best academic experiences at Gonzaga. Coming from the school of applied science and engineering I do not get to interact with peers from other disciplines on a daily basis. This class filled that void and also allowed me to network with invaluable feedback one does not usually get when standard networking. Not only did I learn in the classroom, but I was able to apply what I have learned from the last two years at this university to the real world. One of my favorite parts was the guest speakers. No other class I have taken at this institution has provided me with the amount of exposure to the real world.”
Thank you to the class sponsors Columbia Bank and Tomlinson Real Estate Group!

STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
March for Greatness It’s no secret that Gonzaga University School of Business Administration has extraordinary alumni doing great things. We are extremely proud of our alumni, and honored to keep in touch with them and have them stay connected with the school. This year, 2001 alum Kyle McCoy, Vice President in the Investment Management Division of Goldman Sachs and former Captain in the US Army in the 75th Ranger Regiment and 82nd Airborne Division (where he deployed four times in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan) did something out of the ordinary. Kyle finished 3rd out of 161 competitors from 40 countries in Gobi March, a 7-day, 155-mile ultramarathon to support The Trust for Public Land. This event raised $50,000 in donations, for the Trust for Public Land, which works with communities to ensure that everyone has parks, gardens, playgrounds, trails, and other natural places within a ten-minute walk from home. The trust also works to protect the land and water that keep us sustained. The Gobi March is one of four races in the 4 Deserts race series, which includes the Atacama in Chile, the Sahara in Africa, and Antarctica. Time Magazine has rated this series as one the “Top 10 Endurance Competitions” in the world. This is not Kyle’s first desert race. He is a finisher of the Marathon des Sables and multiple ultra-endurance events, including the Cascade Crest Classic 100 miler. For these events, he participated in raising funds for the USO Northwest, a non-profit organization with a mission to lift the spirits of America’s service members and their families. The School of Business is very fortunate to have alumni like Kyle, who are dedicated leaders that strive to make the world a better place for generations to come. 14 | GONZAGA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Cathy DeHart with Cara Weipert, Manager of the Women’s Business Center.
Working to Make a Difference Cathy DeHart is not just focused on lecturing in the classroom--this lecturer of accounting also focuses on improving the community. Volunteering with SNAP, a Spokane non-profit dedicated to helping low-income individuals and families, Cathy works in the Women’s Business Center teaching new business owners how to do basic accounting. “What I love about SNAP is its focus on economic empowerment; volunteers and staff teach skills and provide tools so that individuals can have economic freedom,” said Cathy. “I really like SNAP’s approach and how it is used across all of their programs.” Volunteering with SNAP also provides Cathy a chance to see her work in action. “It is fascinating to see real world examples that you don’t see in theory.” Such examples include a bartering herbalist, a spiritual advisor, and a cultural resource consultant. Volunteering at SNAP’s Women’s Business Center has been a wonderful experience for Cathy. Seeing the value of the knowledge she provides has made her work so valuable. “It feels good knowing that I am helping people get back on their feet and be financially independent.” Moreover, by helping to improve the community, Cathy is emulating what Gonzaga stands for.
THE VALUE OF
Networking
We have all heard the saying, “it is not what you know, but who you know.” In today’s business world, it is all too important to seize the opportunity to network and meet new people. In 2014, Senior Business student, Ceilidh Baxter took the opportunity to network and gain real-world experience from his projects class. This initiative landed him an internship at T-Mobile with hopes of a full-time position. One of many connections that Ceilidh made during this time at Gonzaga is his connection with Sheldon Jackson. Sheldon is a Spokane real estate developer who wrote the following letter of recommendation for Ceilidh. This letter showed the passion, leadership and dedication to his work that led to the final decision to give Ceilidh the T-Mobile internship.
business plans cross his desk. He stated that his company would have no trouble making a financial decision based off of the information provided by these three young Gonzaga students.” Networking can truly pay off. Ceilidh’s experience is not unusual but you have to put effort into it. Prepare for the opportunity, develop an “elevator speech”, put yourself in networking situations, and follow up in a timely and appropriate manner. When you have the opportunity to build your network, take the chance. You never know how your connections will benefit you in the future.
“I had the pleasure of working with Ceilidh on a project. Ceilidh and two other classmates at Gonzaga provided invaluable financial, marketing, and operational services for a non-profit restaurant that I am starting. This is a program provided by Gonzaga to connect students with local business for real world application of their area of study. My team consisted of my banker, two restaurant owners, the head of the non-profit, and myself. Going in, our expectations were that we were there to help mentor the students. What transpired is that these students provided a practical business plan that will save our organization time and money. The project culminated with a presentation on Monday. We are still shocked at how well the students prepared, the information gathered, the concise delivery, and the willingness to contradict some of our ideas. I develop for major retail companies and have been involved in many high powered presentations, the presentation on Monday ranks right at the top. Ceilidh was the vocal leader of the group, he led all meetings, asked most of the questions and from all appearances directed the team. But when it came time for the presentation each team member was allowed to present on their area of expertise. My banker sees a lot
