Letter from the Interim Dean Since August I have officially served as interim Dean.

It has been invigorating to enter into this role at such a pivotal time in our School’s future.

Schematic design for the renovation and construction of our new building will be completed at the end of October, construction is set to begin in Spring 2015 and it will be ready to move into two years later.

With more than $17.8 million of the $20 million in Scott Marshall, Interim Dean private funds already raised we are nearing the end of the building campaign. The importance of the building to the business community has been demonstrated by gifts of $250,000 from The Standard, Tektronix, ESCO and Daimler.

We continue to innovate our program offerings to better serve our community.

Over the last two years we launched two online undergraduate majors – in Supply Chain Management, Management & Leadership and two of graduate programs – the Master of Real Estate Development and the Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management. The high quality of the programs and growing enrollments provide clear evidence of our ability to quickly and effectively serve our community.

This year we welcomed three new faculty members. They include Joleen Kremin and Cass Hausserman in Accounting and Steven Carnovale in Supply Chain Management. I had lunch with the three of them a few weeks ago and I am so pleased with their enthusiasm and preparedness for their careers at our School.

In the coming year we are excited to recruit five new faculty members to join the School – three are in the marketing area, one in finance and one in real estate.

It is also my great pleasure to introduce to you our new Dean for the School of Business Administration (SBA,) Dr. Daniel (Dan) Connolly, who is currently the Senior Associate Dean at the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business. He also serves as an Associate Professor of Information Technology with a dual appointment in the Fritz Knoebel School of Hospitality Management and in the Department of Business Information and Analytics.

Dr. Connolly’s teaching, research, and consulting interests focus on the strategic application of information technology and electronic commerce. He routinely presents his work at professional and academic conferences around the world, is a prolific writer, and is Dan Connolly will join SBA often quoted in the industry trade press on hospitality as the new dean in July. technology-related matters. His book Technology Strategies for the Hospitality Industry (now in its second edition) is the industry’s first book on technology strategy.

In closing, I extend an invitation to any and all of you to drop me a line (or send an email). Please let me know what our School can do to continue to meet the current and emerging needs of our community.

Thank you, Scott Marshall, Interim Dean

New Allen Ray Sandstrom Endowed Scholarship will benefit local high school graduates IN 1964, WHEN ALLEN RAY SANDSTROM GRADUATED FROM PSU WITH A BUSINESS DEGREE, he was the first in

his family to earn a college education. Thus, Sandstrom understands the obstacles that first-generation college students face; from finding the inspiration to enroll to finding the money to pay for tuition. That’s why he made an estate gift to create the Allen Ray Sandstrom Endowed Scholarship. When realized, his gift will support students from low- and middle-income families who are pursing degrees in finance or accounting in PSU’s School of Business Administration.

“Everybody needs the opportunity to progress,” Sandstrom says. “If college was not in your family’s background, you need a little help to get started.”

Full-time PSU students who graduated from a public high school in the Beaverton or Portland school districts with a grade point average of 3.0 or better will be eligible. The scholarship will pay 50 percent to 100 percent of tuition and fees.

Sandstrom’s gift aligns with the university’s Creating Futures scholarship campaign, which has raised $50 million in scholarships.

Sandstrom grew up in a working-class neighborhood in Southeast Portland. His father had to quit high school during his freshman year to work as a fisherman. Neither Sandstrom’s mother nor his siblings pursued college degrees.

But his friends at Cleveland High School came from families that made higher education a priority. So, after stints in the U.S. Merchant Marine and Army, Sandstrom returned to Portland, got a job and started night classes at PSU in 1959.

Sandstrom worked in accounting his entire career, primarily at Portland General Electric, before retiring in 1997. Now, he wants to support PSU’s mission of access and help students who face the same obstacles that he faced more than a half-century ago. His gift will be the second largest endowed scholarship in the School of Business and will have a tremendous positive impact on the lives of students for generations to come.

“Just talking to PSU students,” he says, “you can see the need.”

To learn more about giving to scholarships in the School of Business Administration, please contact Lauren Clark, Development Officer, Scholarships and Campaigns, 503-725-2675, Lauren.Clark@pdx.edu.

SCHOLARSHIPS AT T H E S BA • More than $250,000 in scholarships are awarded every year to business students • In 2014, only 128 students received awards averageing $2,234 per student • Cost for undergrads is estimated at $23,000 yearly • D o n o r s l i ke y o u c a n h e l p close the gap!

BEER BUSINESS

Alumni of the Craft Brewing Online Certificate program put their studies to work pursuing their passion for ale

BENJAMIN MORGAN of FIRESTONE WALKER BREWING COMPANY What do you do at Firestone Walker Brewery?

I’m currently into my second year of employment at Firestone Walker. I started as a part time keg line operator at nights while finishing up business school. As graduation came closer, I expressed interest in using what I’ve learned in school towards a career with the company. Upon graduating, the marketing department offered me a position on the events team, and that is where I am today!

Which courses from the certificate were most relevant to your job?

I completed the Business of Craft Brewing Certificate program in June. It was a unique opportunity for me to hone in on and direct the concepts I was simultaneously learning in my business management program towards the craft beverage industry. All of the courses within the program offered an enormous amount of detailed information and real world examples. By far the best and most useful information for myself were the plethora of Excel worksheets and tutorials that enabled me to gather realistic numbers and figures towards brewery operations. Obtaining realistic costs, accurate inventory counts, and detailed time frame figures are essential to running an efficient, productive, and quality brewery. The program gave me the resources and confidence to gather all the necessary data on my own.

What inspired you to pursue a career in craft brewing?

It was my father’s death that drove me into the craft beer industry. His accidental passing made me realize life needs to be spent doing what you love. After nearly a decade in the transportation industry, it was quite obvious the custom-

er base in craft beverages is way more fun to deal with. You also don’t have to be in business school to see the industry growth statistics of craft beverages. With that in mind, three years ago I called my buddy Sam, he and his brother’s own Jack’s Abby brewing in Framingham, MA, near Boston. They gave me the opportunity to intern with them to see if the beer industry was right for me. My experience up to that point in beer was about a year of home brewing.

Hooked right away, I returned to Paso Robles, CA, and worked on the construction and opening of Barrelhouse Brewing.

Six months later, Firestone Walker had me join their team.

What are your long term goals?

In such an increasingly fluid and growing industry, future opportunities are countless.

Having been able to use Firestone Walker as a business example for my work in the program, I am able to understand how and why it has become such a successful brewery. I’d like to use what I’ve learned to grow with the company.

RAJIAM PURSIFULL of OREGON CITY BREWING COMPANY What were the highlights of your courses in the certificate program?

This course of study forced me to do all the things I needed to do before I could start our business in terms of finding suppliers, forecasting income and expenses, pricing equipment and inventory, and developing a realistic plan of action.

Oregon City Brewery is the creation of three longtime home brewers who got tired of talking about starting a brewery and decided to go for it.

We bought a three barrel brew house out of pocket and set it up in a garage. Our plan is to learn the business of beer with this small system while we establish enough accounts to justify further growth. We are starting with no debt and very little overhead. We will use this plan to provide a starting point and road map for future growth when we may need partial funding from outside investors.

You’ve been labeled a “retirement brewer,” what inspired you to begin a second career in craft brewing?

We have a great startup team whose skills include project management, marketing, sales, brewing, electrical, plumbing and carpentry. Two of us have run businesses of our own, and one is an ex-banker. Two are retired and have time to establish and grow the brewery. Our beers will have character, taste and a story that will attract any-

one who has had the urge to create something of their own that was not only useful, but also profitable and of service to the community.

What are your plans for Oregon City Brewery?

My son-in-law Bryce, his dad Craig, and I were home-brewers hoping to brew commercially someday. Our original idea was to brew beer that was very drinkable that would appeal to women as well as men. We toyed with “Pioneer Brewing” for months thinking about how it might fit in with the Northwest, the Oregon Trail, Lewis and Clark, etc.

Our concept was to name our beers after various pioneers in various fields and craft each style to represent the character of one pioneer. After several months of researching and estimating startup costs, we decided to start small and fund the brewery out of pocket. We moved our operation to Bryce’s garage. We installed a walk-in cooler, a 125-amp sub-panel, and purchased an electric brew house from Stout Tanks in Portland.

After we received our brewing license we finally decided to use the name “Oregon City Brewery” or OCB for short. We just opened our brewpub in November.

BUSINESS OF CRAFT BREWING CERTIFICATE

The Business of Craft Brewing program is designed for anyone with an interest in the business side of craft beverages, from grower to glass.

The primary focus is on craft brewing, but includes business models for distilleries and alcoholic cider facilities as well.

Building a new Future for the SBA

AN OPPORTUNITY

THE PLAN

As School of Business alumni, you understand the value of our programs and our impact upon the region’s economy. The plan to renovate and expand the School of Business will allow us to provide future students, faculty and the greater business community with the necessary space to collaborate and grow.

In total, we will be adding nearly 100,000 square feet which brings the final building size to 135,000 square feet.

Alumni, business leaders and organizations of all sizes have come together in support of this essential project. Join them by making a gift to the building campaign, and send a message about the value of PSU’s School of Business.

A Year of Excellence The 2013-2014 academic year was an exciting year of growth for PSU’s chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, international finance and accounting honors society (BAP). BAP Epsilon Alpha achieved Superior Chapter status for the second year , reflecting the great work of students, faculty advisors, and involved professionals over the year. The chapter’s students logged more than 4,500 hours in the year, including 2,519 community service hours.

With the BAP Regional conference held in Portland, OR, in April 2014, most of the incoming and outgoing officers were able to attend, with some officers taking part in the Best Practices competition. In addition, Executive Vice President Sarah Dunbar and VP of Communications Rahnia Beuter were able to attend the BAP International Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA. While there, they accepted two awards for the chapter: Ethics Award, Sponsored by Grant Thornton LLP BAP partnered with the Rotary Club of Portland (Rotary) to add a business ethics component to Enterprise Academy (EA), a weekend entrepreneurship

camp for Portland high school students. It aims to provide students, many of them underserved, the opportunity to discover free enterprise through writing business plans for their fictional startup.

Twenty-four BAP students participated in this project, with 10 serving as Ethics Advisors during the camp itself.

This project was a great opportunity for BAP to establish a connection with Rotary, one that will continue to be strengthened in the 2014-2015 academic year.

VITA Award: Top Three in Volunteer Hours BAP works with AARP Tax Aide/CASH Oregon as part of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program every year.

In the 2013-2014 academic year, BAP students from PSU constituted 10 percent of the total volunteers for the state!

The IRS recognized Epsilon Alpha as one of the top three BAP chapters in the nation in terms of total volunteer hours.

Energized by these accomplishments, BAP at PSU has nearly doubled in size since the end of the 2013-2014 year and we are excited to see what 2015 brings.
