LETTER FROM THE DEAN
I want to thank everyone for an incredible 2022. From our successful AACSB reaccreditation to our awesome new spaces in the building to our outstanding new hires and colleagues to record fundraising to our students’ success in the classroom, with research, participating in internships and securing amazing professional opportunities after they graduate, this has been a truly remarkable year.
2022 was our reaccreditation year for the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). AACSB accreditation is the longest-standing and most prestigious accreditation that can be earned by a university and its business programs. I am thrilled to share that the Idaho State University College of Business was successfully reaccredited by AACSB for both our business and accounting programs. Idaho State is now one of only 192 schools globally that have the highest level accreditation in both Business and Accounting, reflecting the world-class business education our students receive.

This spring we will open our brand new Orin C. Smith Global Finance Lab and the Walter P. Brown Center for Sales Excellence, which will be the most transformative improvements to our College of Business building in its history. We look forward to sharing pictures of these spaces and profiles of the outstanding new professors we hired who will be joining us in 2023 in the next Business Bulletin.
In December, we graduated an extraordinary group of new College of Business alumni who are taking positions and advancing their careers in amazing ways. Congratulations to each of you on your accomplishments and we are so excited to see the great things you will do.
I am more thankful today than ever to be part of the College of Business Family and I am more excited than ever knowing that our best days are still ahead of us. Go Bengals!
