Gonzaga University School of Business Administration Annual Digest

2017-18 GONZAGA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Annual Digest

LETTER FROM THE DEAN Hello from your School of Business Administration. The 2018-19 academic year has started and we are off to a great start. We are very pleased to bring you the fall issue of the Gonzaga University School of Business Administration Digest. We appreciate the opportunity to share with you updates and news.

The environments which impact higher education continue to be challenging in many ways. Economic, demographic, technological, socio-cultural....it seems that every relevant environment is experiencing disruption and change. As I have said many times, the “business” of higher education is becoming more and more like the world beyond the ivory tower. These external environments are forcing us to adapt so we can do what we are supposed to do: provide a highquality business education.

We have adapted and we continue to offer a business education that is second to none. This digest provides a glimpse into our many successes. Our students, staff, and faculty continue to achieve and perform at high levels. There is much data to support that assertion. As you will see, whether its rankings, publications, competition results, placement data, test results and so on, we are establishing every single day that we are a global leader in Jesuit business education. Our successes are a wonderful testament to our students, faculty, and staff, and to supporters like you. Thank you!!

Our successes are also a function of our vision and values. Our vision is to be a global leader in Jesuit business education. We are driven by the values of excellence, engagement, and inspiration. While all are critical to what we do, we have chosen to focus this issue on the value of student engagement.

As you read through this issue of our digest, you will see many examples of how we are providing opportunities for our students to interact and participate in the world outside the Jepson Center. Some opportunities are old school, like internships, and others, like competitions, are newer to us. Bringing outside speakers into the Jepson Center is certainly not new but our practice of teaching at least one course a year at the site of one of our partners (e.g., Microsoft) is what ties together these various engagement opportunities.

First, they complement what we are doing in the traditional classroom

setting. Second, they often provide unique experiences that our students can talk about in the job search process. Third, they often allow students an opportunity to network with individuals outside Gonzaga.

Finally, some of these opportunities give our students a chance to develop skills and knowledge relevant to their chosen career. All of these factors, individually and collectively, can create value for our students. Engagement makes them better in the classroom and, in the long run, better for life. As I wrote in last year’s digest, “Engagement is central to who we are as a business school in that it is an essential part of our improvement as students, faculty, and staff. Without engagement we will not improve. If we are not getting better we will fall behind and that, my friends, will not happen.”

Our students, staff, and faculty are doing tremendous things and we are very aware that none of it would happen without you. Thank you for your on-going and generous support. Best wishes for a wonderful fall 2018!

PS......A great way for you to engage with us is to attend our annual Wine & Dine dinner. It is a first class event featuring fantastic pairings of food and wine. This year's dinner is scheduled for Friday, November 16th.

You can learn more about the event and make your reservations at: www.gonzaga.edu/winedinner Sincerely,

Kenneth S. Anderson, Ph.D. Dean, School of Business Administration

SBA TRANSITIONS Eddy Birrer Professor of Accounting For anyone who knows Eddy Birrer, it is clear that he found his true calling in teaching accounting to college students. Few faculty are as respected and beloved by their students as Eddy, and few faculty are as passionate about accounting.

However, Eddy’s career as a faculty member almost did not take place at Gonzaga. In 1984, Eddy was a tenured professor and department chairman at Moorhead State University in Minnesota. Being from Montana, however, he wanted to move west to be closer to family. His ultimate goal was to teach at a Catholic university in the Northwest. When a faculty position opened up at Gonzaga, he jumped at the chance to interview for it. But after interviewing for the position, Eddy became concerned about accepting the reduction in pay that would accompany the move to Gonzaga, particularly given his growing family. The Sunday after the interview, Eddy attended mass and heard the following passage: "…do not worry about your life… strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

Fortunately for generations of Gonzaga students, he and his wife heeded those words and moved to Spokane.

During the more than three decades since that time, Eddy’s reputation both in and out of the classroom has grown to near-

GONZAGASCHOOL SCHOOLOF OFBUSINESS BUSINESSADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATION 99 | |GONZAGA

legendary proportions. In the classroom, he is known for his clear and concise lectures, quick wit, soccer jerseys, and occasional quirky tie. His courses are known to be some of the most rigorous in the accounting program. Yet struggling students who sought help always found a sympathetic and supportive presence in one who was interested in the success of each individual student. Cathy DeHart (1986), who was a student of Eddy’s in his second year at Gonzaga, experienced these qualities. “He has always been so personable and fun-loving, and you can tell he sincerely enjoys getting to know his students. He made me feel special and valued, and he took a personal interest in the progress of my career.”

Away from the classroom, Eddy’s exploits during noon basketball games are even better known across the campus than his teaching.

For all 34 years at Gonzaga, Eddy has been a consistent presence on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at the Martin Centre for noon pick-up basketball games.

During his time at Gonzaga, Eddy has undeniably had a longlasting impact on generations of Gonzaga Accounting students and countless noontime basketball participants. When you ask Eddy, it is clear that this is what he is most proud of from his time at Gonzaga.

"I am pleased to see how much my students have achieved both personally and professionally," Dr. Birrer said. "I have been blessed to have had such great students while teaching at Gonzaga."

-Gary Weber, Associate Professor of Accounting; Director, Master of Accountancy Program; Coordinator, Accounting Programs

Kent Hickman Professor of Finance For almost three decades, Kent Hickman has graced the Jepson Center, an anchor for both the area of Finance and the School of Business. Kent appeared as I was beginning my third year at Gonzaga, my first full-time faculty position, still learning the ropes. Kent came along and proved to be a great mentor and colleague, much more than I had any right to ask for. A few years older and wiser than me, he was certainly a more experienced teacher after having taught high school in Priest River, Idaho as well as a couple of years at a U.S. military base in Germany. So, during those early years, while Kent was teaching GU undergrads and MBAs about finance, I was learning much from him about what it takes to be an effective teacher and scholar.

In my mind, Kent was and continues to be a “teacher” in the purest form. He didn’t always follow standard convention, he was more concerned with providing a solid conceptual understanding of whatever topic he was lecturing on and he had his own ways of doing that. As evidence of his effectiveness, on the 50th anniversary of the MBA program, Kent was selected by MBA alums to receive the Distinguished Faculty Award in recognition of teaching excellence. Kent is also recognized internationally, having served in faculty positions in Italy, England, France, Germany and Finland.

Kent has the most intellectually curious mind of anyone I have ever known. In our frequent lunches together, Kent would more often than not find an opportunity to come up with some sort of research idea. I have worked with him on many papers ranging from standard finance questions to more arcane subjects such as fighter jets and basketball coaching effectiveness. Kent has published with a large number of SBA faculty in multiple areas and is one of the most prolific scholars ever at Gonzaga.

Now, as much as I have praised Kent for his teaching and scholarly excellence, I think that perhaps his most valuable role has been that of unofficial morale officer for the SBA. He has a very keen sense of humor and used it often to lighten up many otherwise dreary faculty meetings. Not only was he quick with a joke, he provided a lot of fodder for other faculty humor. Kent was never one to pay too much attention to his appearance, and the number of jokes made over the years about “Hickman’s wardrobe” might now approach four figures. Many times it was a twice daily event as he would show up with a particularly disheveled look, disappear into the classroom for a few sessions and then emerge covered in chalk dust.

If there was no eraser in the room, that apparently wasn’t a problem because Kent always had a shirt, a pair of pants and two socks to use. But it’s all been good. Always.

So thanks to Kent, from myself and all the students and colleagues from all those years. We, and Gonzaga, are better off for having known you. Happy trails.

Michael Joy Lecturer of Management Information Systems ‘…so let it be generally known that I am retiring at the end of this semester.

I’ve had good innings, but it is now time for me to begin enjoying the life that I have been working toward for all of my working life….’ So Michael Joy says in his announcement for retirement.

Indeed, Michael had a good run in his teaching career at Gonzaga University. And, indeed, he had earned a retirement life that he rightfully deserved. The down-to-earth approach of his announcement exemplifies many qualities about Michael Joy that will be missed.

Beginning as an adjunct in August 2000 until his retirement in May 2018, Michael had always fulfilled his responsibilities with distinctive dedication, commitment and compassion. His tenure of 18 years as a lecturer at Gonzaga University seemed not exceptional; however, it is noteworthy that Michael had made a difference in the lives of more than five thousand students. His dedication and commitment were illustrated with the frequently seen long lines of students waiting for his assistance in early hours of the day and with his availability to students whenever they needed him. While the subject he taught, business computing, was technical in nature, Michael positioned it in a broad context. He stressed the importance of using information technologies with a problem-solving

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 11 |11GONZAGA | GONZAGA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

approach and in an ethical manner in his classes. Michael was kind and generous. He shared his teaching materials and experiences with new colleagues. The School of Business Administration and the MIS discipline were fortunate to have him teaching the critical subject.

‘Once again, I will be riding the 8 Lakes Leg Aches ride to help raise donations for Lutheran Community Services Northwest SAFeT program which supports victims of sexual abuse and assault….’

Michael said at the end of each and every academic year as far back as I can remember. Michael Joy was not only a dedicated teacher, but also a compassionate person. He upheld Gonzaga University’s Mission and Jesuit Values with actions. He engaged with charities to offer his sympathy and support to those in need and called for his colleagues’ involvement. His embracing of the humanistic value of Jesuit legacy was inspiring and exemplary. Over the years, many vulnerable people have been better off because of Michael’s compassion.

Michael’s dedication, commitment and compassion will not be forgotten. On behalf of the MIS discipline, I thank him for his years of hard work and his impact on students. He had written a notable chapter of life and is ready to begin a new chapter. I wish him a relaxing and wonderful retirement.

Bob Toshack

Manager of SBA Computer Labs My first real introduction to Bob Toshack was when he and his wife, Candace, invited my wife and I over for dinner, more than thirty years ago. They had recently joined our church and wanted to get to know some of the people better. I remember he made lasagna, which my wife wheedled for the recipe, and which subsequently became one of my family’s staple dinner menus. But we had so much fun that night, playing with their two adorable children and enjoying the welcoming, cordial atmosphere of their home and their genuine hearts of goodwill, that Anne and I knew we had found real gold.

We became lifelong friends and have enjoyed the warmth of that relationship ever since.

Bob and I shared an interest in computers. We would often have long conversations about where things were headed right at the inception of the Internet explosion. One day he mentioned to me that there was a job opening up at Gonzaga, working with him in the School of Business. I had wanted to work at Gonzaga for some time, and this seemed like the perfect fit. I got the job, and Bob became my boss. Of the many benefits I received from working at Gonzaga, I can honestly say that having Bob Toshack as my boss was the greatest of all. He was a gentle and patient mentor. His affable personality created an environment of acceptance and freedom which fostered an atmosphere of innovation.

Bob’s natural curiosity led us to trying many new technologies over the decades in his capacity as Manager of Computer Operations in the School of Business. But his sense of reality also kept us squarely in the center of the most stable and reliable path forward through the ocean of innovation during those tumultuous years. For instance, no Business School computer ever had the disastrous Vista operating system on it, nor Windows 8.

I wasn’t the only one to enjoy the warmth of Bob’s sunny disposition. Many people have approached me since he retired, asking about Bob and expressing how they miss him. I always tell them, “Bob is the kind of person who makes you feel like you’re the most important thing on his agenda when he’s talking to you. And no one will miss him more than me.”

STUDY ABROAD Study abroad is the ultimate college experience, and is one of not only profound personal and academic growth, but also a great resume building experience. During the 2017-2018 academic year, 199 Business and Accounting students studied abroad.

Business Students find culture and learning in Belgium and Italy A dozen MBA and undergraduate Business students began their summers immersed in the beauty and culture of Belgium and Italy while studying European business operations and marketing. Dr. Mirjeta Beqiri, Professor of Operations Management, and Marketing Professor Tamara Evans, Gonzaga in Florence, led this inaugural two-week tour in May.

Locations included: Gonzaga in Florence (109), St. Louis University, Madrid (30), Gonzaga in Belgium & Italy (14), University of Auckland (12), University of London (6), The Beijing Center for Chinese Studies (4), Gonzaga in Zambezi (4), University of Glasgow (3), CIEE Language and Culture Program in Lisbon, Portugal (2), Gonzaga in Chimfunshi (2), Gonzaga in Nogales: Justice in January (2), Gonzaga in the Wilderness (2), IAU College (2), ISA Buenos Aires, Argentina (2), Ateneo de Manila University (1), CEA French Alps: Grenoble, France - International Business (1), ISA Valparaiso/ Vina Del Mar, Chile (1), ISEP in Thailand Thammasat University, Bangkok (1), Semester at Sea (1).

On May 14, the group assembled in Brussels, the capital of the European Union and international business center. It was exciting to begin the tour precisely at a time when this center of international finance and politics was a focus of world events. Our introduction to Belgium began quite fittingly in the hospitality sector, with a rare tour of Brussel’s oldest brewery, which illustrated the critical role beer played throughout history, when wars and economic strife rendered water and other beverages unsafe to consume.

In the evening, we were dinner guests of a European restauranteur and savvy entrepreneur, at his restaurant, Lasagna and Tiramisu. In addition to the delectable food, he presented us a thought-provoking business discussion regarding today’s operational challenges in conducting business internationally.

Politics and international relations were the focus of our visits to the European Parliament and the European Commission, where two distinguished political authorities provided insights into the challenges facing the EU today. Revealing to the students was the dichotomy of each

country’s effort to preserve its own culture, language, infrastructure, and history, while understanding the benefits of a united union.

An unexpected surprise for our group was a visit to The House of European History, the newly opened museum that illustrates the history of post 1789 Europe.

The Zabar Chocolate factory was a rewarding stop. From watching the steps performed in product production, to packaging and distribution, we had to admit, after sampling an embarrassing amount of chocolate, this was a pretty sweet business class!

Coca Cola, Belgium, is the supply-chain headquarters for Coca Cola in Europe, and we were taken behind the scenes in the production and distribution facilities to concoct our own Coca Cola recipes, and get a firsthand view of the company’s new sustainable packaging and recycling initiatives.

We arrived in Florence, Italy for week two. Often referred to as “the Capital of the Arts”, Florence is a cultural mecca with a rich history, and many successful companies to study! Our private tours ranged from a soleproprietor artisan, who creates products for some of the finest specialty stores in the U.S., to mid-range companies and international conglomerates serving countries around the world, and provided definite contrasts of infrastructures and production.

Pagani is a European supercar maker that produces custom cars of racecar speed and artistic beauty. This is a special-order company, with entrylevel product prices of $2.4 million. Pagani’s business strategy is to create the highest quality automobile, cater to foreign luxury buyers, establish a prestige-price, and limit annual production to 120 cars or less.

Moving from the fantastical to the functional, our next day’s visit took us to the home of the Vespa, the inventive, highly efficient mode of transport introduced in Rome, in 1946, by Enrico Piaggio. Invented as a less expensive mode of transport for the masses, this two-wheeled wonder sold over a million scooters in its first ten years. From its humble origins, the Vespa became a marketing phenomenon, produced in 13 countries and marketed in 114. We were able to view the many iterations of this cultural icon in the Vespa museum, along with the vintage marketing campaigns—including starring roles in many famous movies--that elevated it to its venerable status. It was apparent to our group that in addition to its undeniable economic benefits, its low environmental impact may signify a new rebirth for the Vespa.

GKN Driveline, Firenze manufactures driveline components for many upscale auto manufacturers around the globe. This company had the best

operations examples of continuous-improvement systems and value-stream manufacturing. Its state of the art technology features various massive robots and 3-D printers to create replacement parts for aircraft that are lighter and cheaper.

Our closing tour was to Principe Corsini, a centuries-old Tuscan estate that produces wine and olive oil for distribution in Europe and the U.S. This business still retains a measure of hand-crafting by using the same equipment used by its forefathers.

As one student pointed out, “We are grateful for the opportunity to have traveled and learned in such a unique way. This was truly the trip of a lifetime!”

STUDENT COMPETITIONS There are many ways the School of Business implements learningby-doing, including student competitions. There are more and more competitive opportunities for our students; some of which are discipline specific (e.g., PriceWaterhouseCoopers for accounting) while others are more generic (e.g., DECA). Our students have a demonstrated track record of great success, including top finishes, in regional and national competitions.

CFA Institute Research Challenge Winners In February, five Gonzaga undergraduates competed in the regional round of the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Institute Research Challenge, competing against eight regional schools. This included Whitworth, Whitman College, Montana State University, University of Montana, Washington State, Eastern Washington, and University of Idaho.

Gonzaga’s team received 1st place for their presentations, 2nd place for their written report, and 2nd place over all in the local competition, just missing their chance to compete at the large regional competition in Boston. J.D. Morscheck, Assistant Professor of Finance, School of Business Administration, and Jon Dawn, CFA were the faculty and industry advisors, respectively.

The Gonzaga team was comprised of: Duncan Hatch: Junior, Business major concentrating in Economics and Finance, Kayla Buchmeier: Junior, Business major concentrating in Finance and Marketing, Ian Baer: Senior, Accounting major, Tyler Sudeck: Senior, Economics and Political Science major and Michael McIntyre: Senior, Business major concentrating in Finance and International Business This research challenge provides students the opportunity to gain realworld experience in equity research. This year, the students analyzed Red Lion Hotels (NYSE: RLH). The competition tasked students to provide a written research report, an investment presentation, and engage in a final Q&A session with experienced CFA charter holders. CFA, Chartered Financial Analyst, is a credential often demanded by top firms in the investments industry.

2018 Northwest Entrepreneur Competition In May, several teams from the School of Business Entrepreneurship & Innovation Program excelled at the 2018 Northwest Entrepreneur Competition (NEC) in Spokane.

NEC is a collaborative student startup competition dedicated to providing students with the invaluable academic exercise of implementing their innovative ideas for new businesses.

This year’s competition attracted 65 teams from eight schools from the greater Spokane area. Of those entries, six teams from Gonzaga were finalists – including four who placed and earned prize money ranging from $1,000-$3,000.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Competition Winners PwC launched this Challenge in 2002, to increase students' exposure to professional services and the world of public accounting. This case competition has a significant impact on our students, helping them to better understand the vast career opportunities in professional services and connecting them with those in the industry. Winning teams demonstrate critical thinking, strong presentation skills, teamwork, and time management.

The students learn about the strategic issues companies all over the world are facing, and compete for cash prizes.

In addition to gaining recognition for critical thinking and communication skills, they also have the opportunity to connect with PwC professionals who judge and provide input on their business cases and presentations.

This past January, 32 students 7 teams competed and presented their case solutions in the PwC Challenge, with the group “The Big 4” finishing first.

ADVISORY BOARDS The SBA has a number of advisory boards that include individuals from within Gonzaga, from across the region, and experts from different industries who have extensive experience in business and other related fields.

Advisory Board members contribute to the business school in a number of ways: committing their time, energy, expertise and their financial resources to helping the school achieve its mission. Our Board members help determine the school’s direction, develop priorities, participate in programing and other educational initiatives, and serve as advocates in business, community, and educational circles.

The SBA is extremely thankful to these talented and generous individuals for the many ways they have shaped our purpose and our impact.

JESUIT INSPIRATION Gonzaga's mission is centered around the Jesuit tradition of concern for others. The School of Business instills caring for others through various community involvement programs, allowing our students to apply their technical knowledge to help the Spokane community. Many of our students, staff, and faculty members are volunteers in their own communities and on-campus, working to better the lives of those around them.

Supporting Linwood Elementary

by Partnering with Second Harvest and The Bite2Go Program We have partnered in a number of ways with 2nd Harvest Food Bank. We have an annual volunteer day and we are also a strong supporter of their Bite2Go program. This year we provided financial support of over $4,000 which paid for over approximately 35 meal kits per week and we delivered approximately 1,500 meal kits to Linwood Elementary School, in north Spokane in the Spokane Public Schools District. The total student population is 515 with 74% or 377 students on free or reduced lunch and receiving 60 Bite2Go packs per week. (October 2016 statistics) The Bite2Go programs is a partnership between Second Harvest, local schools, and community partners to get weekend food supplies to children in need during the school year. The Bite2Go kits include a good mix of healthy, kid-friendly, easy-to-open, single-serving, nonperishable food items to cover meals and three snacks over the weekend. The shelf-stable milk, juice, cereal, entrees and snacks are safe for children to handle on their own because they don’t require any cooking or other preparation. Each week staff members at participating schools put the packages of food discreetly in the backpacks of students in need.

With 866 total tax returns processed this year, we beat our previous record of 852 tax returns prepared in 2016.

FACULTY PUBLICATIONS School of Business Administration faculty members embrace the vision and values of the school exemplified by their professional development work. The research produced by our faculty allows them to bring cutting-edge knowledge to the classroom, helping ensure that the SBA delivers a high quality, relevant education to all its students. This is particularly valuable in the SBA's graduate programs where our students are more likely to take this knowledge back to the organizations they serve. Beyond the classroom, our faculty deliver knowledge to our community partners through consulting, speeches and talks, board service, and other networking opportunities. All of these activities allow for a higher quality of engagement between the SBA and the communities it serves.

Explore the depth and breadth of our faculty’s most recent publications, and ongoing research.

ACADEMIC LECTURES & EVENTS Strategic engagement is central to who we are as a business school. Our students, staff, and faculty must get outside the Jepson Center and we must get our organizational partners inside of Jepson. There are a number of ways that we engage with our organizational partners.

The panelists discussed how difficult it is for formerly incarcerated persons to gain meaningful employment as they work to rebuild their lives, leading to many societal problems including higher recidivism. Businesses have the power and opportunity to interrupt this cycle and positively impact individuals who were incarcerated and, as a result, the whole community.

We host a number of keynote speakers during the course of the academic year. The audiences can range from our business students to the local Spokane business community to a mixture of both. While these speakers are often associated with a specific event (e.g., the Aram Lecture on business ethics), we also bring in speakers to address topics of current interest (e.g., Bitcoin).

9th Annual Aram Lecture on Business Ethics, Developing the Skills of an Ethical Leader: Guidance from The Business Ethics Field Guide. Featuring Brad Agle, George W. Romney Professor, Brigham Young University and Bill O’Rourke, Inaugural President, Alcoa Russia. An award-winning teacher and a widely acclaimed executive speaker discussed the research behind their new book The Business Ethics Field Guide. This research identifies the 13 fundamental ethical dilemmas encountered in organizations, and explores how to deal with them based on experiences from hundreds of practicing managers. Guests learned about these dilemmas illustrated by fascinating experiences from the first American leader of Russia’s billiondollar aluminum industry.

Ethics Week Panel Discussion - Second Chance Hiring: How businesses can heal through mentoring and employing formerly incarcerated persons. Featuring Gloria Ochoa-Bruck, a lawyer and expert on criminal justice, speaking to the inequities of the criminal justice system that disproportionately impact persons of color and/or low income and Jim Andrews, President/Owner of American Ironworks and Erectors. Jim is on a couple of committees working on this issue and he mentors and hires formerly incarcerated persons.

Ethos Statement Signing Ceremony Students, faculty and staff joined together to sign the Ethos statement in support of the goal to build a sense of community around the shared ideals and commitments that define our SBA mission.

Seventh Annual Pigott Entrepreneurship Lecture, Building a Business: How a national construction powerhouse started with two shovels and a pick-up, featuring Timothy Barnard, Chairman of Barnard Construction.

Timothy Barnard’s life has focused on seizing dreams and opportunities and turning them into realities. After completing his degree and some global travels, Mr. Barnard landed in Montana. With only $1,000, two shovels, a pick and all of his worldly possessions in a pickup truck, he set out to launch his own company. An inspiration that ultimately grew into a multi-million-dollar heavy civil contractor undertaking construction and engineering projects on a global scale.

Mr. Barnard first became involved with Gonzaga University when he attended the Gonzaga-in-Florence program. He has served on Gonzaga’s Board of Trustees since 2000, and received Gonzaga’s Distinguished Alumni Merit Award in 2004.

Careers in…. Events This past year the SBA hosted several different “Careers in” days.

Bringing in industry professionals to talk about their careers and share helpful tips that they used as graduates of Gonzaga. They talked about what it takes to land that dream job, how best to network, what firms are looking for in potential employees, and what it takes to get your resume seen.

In addition to our concentration based Careers in Days, this past year the SBA held its first inaugural Careers in Posters event. This event was conceived by the Internship Task Force to give faculty and staff the opportunity to learn more about what our students are doing in their internships. Rating sheets were available to provide feedback on the posters and the session in general.

The posters are one part of the students’ post-internship requirements. Other assignments include a blurb for the webpage, an introduction for the Wolff Auditorium lobby screens, a self-evaluation, a supervisory evaluation and other assignments as named in the original learning agreement.

McDevitt shared stories behind some of the company's brand successes, as well as best practices on personal branding and how to land a job at companies such as Nike. His dynamic talk focused on encouraging students to chase their wildest dreams, pointing out he is a living example of that goal.

"You can do it all," McDevitt said, remembering the time when he was 17 years old and dreamed of working for Nike. Then, almost on cue to further prove his point, he called on a graduating GU Engineering senior in the audience who landed a "dream job" with Nike.

Mac McDevitt, a retired Nike marketer shared timeless lessons learned from over 27 years at the innovative Oregon company during a talk with current Gonzaga students.

McDevitt is the proud parent of a Zag alum who clearly admires the Gonzaga way, an experience formed in part by his work over the years with GU sports teams. He was brought to campus by the School of Business Administration for a talk that was moved to Wolff Auditorium due to high demand.

Since retiring last year, McDevitt's goal is to mentor, develop and prepare future business leaders for career opportunities in brand building, product marketing, and merchandising excellence. That was his purpose in addressing the students.

"Now that he's retired, he has a real desire to give back," said GU marketing professor Peggy Sue Loroz. "It's such a great alignment with Gonzaga's values: this idea of your profession as a vocation – and then how you continue to contribute to society through that lens." – Jeff Bunch

OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY Lifelong Learning This past spring the SBA presented its 1st Lifelong Learning workshops in Seattle and Spokane. Ken Anderson, Dean of Gonzaga University School of Business Administration presented the workshop on “Negotiations”.

As an ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons, the Lifelong Learning Series is our newest initiative that we believe highlights each of our three core values.

It not only enhances social inclusion, active citizenship, and personal development, but also self-sustainability, as well as competitiveness and employability. It further engages our alumni and friends of the school in meaningful and fulfilling ways. The program is made up of three parts: (1) introduction and overview of GU/SBA; (2) course content; and (3) social/ networking.

Attendee JoAnna Lake shared, “In late January, I had the opportunity to attend the first Gonzaga hosted Lifelong Learning event with Dean Anderson in Seattle. The setting was fabulous – perched high above Seattle on a rare clear afternoon. Even better than the view was the new found company, community and learning that was to come. Often, I find it hard to take the time to invest in my own learning and continued development – and when I do – I always am glad that I reprioritized other day to day things.

The event began with introductions of the roughly 30 people in attendance. It was a great mix of parents of current or prospective students, others in the Seattle community and a great diversity in alumnae.

After brief introductions for each of us attending, Dean Anderson took us through an update on all things new at GU – which was great for me to re-connect as it’s been a while since I’ve been back to campus. That was followed by a roughly 45 minute learning event focused on effective negotiations. Dean Anderson was ever engaging in reconnecting us to SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 35 |35GONZAGA | GONZAGA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

our BATNA and other key tools in negotiating things whether it be car purchases or negotiations with customers or suppliers. It was a great way to refresh and sharpen some of the skills that I don’t necessarily use every day, in a meaningful, relatable and fun way. After the negotiations section, it was great to spend some time networking with the others in attendance.

I reconnected with people I haven’t seen in some time and made new connections within the Gonzaga community. I’m looking forward to the next opportunity to reconnect and recharge! Thank you!”

Zags Give Day On March 8, the SBA took part in Zags Give Day. During the 24-hour giving day, two challenge gifts totaling $20,000 were “unlocked/awarded” once we reached 100 donors, regardless of the amount given. In the 24-hour give day, the total amount raised was $42,127 with 148 donors.

The funds raised this year were in celebration of Eddy Birrer and they endowed a scholarship in his name. For more than 34 years, Eddy has been dedicated to Gonzaga's accounting program and its students. This scholarship, will both honor his impact and open doors of opportunity for accounting students.

Gonzaga University surpassed all previous records and goals in this 24hour fundraising drive "All In for Zags Give Day" with unprecedented giftmatching and challenges.

A total of 1,892 donors from all 50 states contributed more than $300,000 toward the 12 featured crowdfunding projects aimed at supporting Gonzaga students. The number of donors participating in this one-day giving drive was the most ever for the University.

Wine and Dine On November 17, the SBA hosted its 3rd Annual Wine and Dine fundraising event. The evening started off with a reception, followed by an exceptional dining experience courtesy of Sodexo's top chefs. The theme was South America. This event generated over $60,000 in net revenue.

The funds that are raised go into the SBA Excellence fund which is used to support a number of business school initiatives.

These initiatives include: • Professional development opportunities for SBA faculty and staff. This includes participation in research and academic conferences, programs like Leadership Spokane, and our annual faculty/staff trip to Boeing.

• Expenses associated with student competitions. We are heavily involved in competitions and we assist with entry fees and travel expenses.

• Funds to assist students with attending events such as the Career & Professional Development center's Trek program. We don't want money to be a barrier to student participation.

• Technology assistance including support for the Hemmingson Finance Lab. Our technology needs, both hardware and software, continue to grow.

• Programming such as our "Careers" days and networking events.

Helping our students decide which academic direction to go is critical to their success; introducing them to community partners and other friends of the business school is essential.

• Community involvement efforts such as our participation in 2nd Harvest's Bite-2-Go program. We are dedicated to engagement with our community.

CELEBRATIONS

100 years Daniel G. “Dan” Brajcich Gonzaga University’s very own accounting legend and alumnus, Daniel G. “Dan” Brajcich, would have turned 100 years old on November 27, 2018.

Dan taught for Gonzaga’s accounting department for over 50 years and was well-known for his strict teaching style, intimating demeanor, and jokester attitude. However, students still highly respected him because they knew he cared deeply for their education and success.

Everyone who knew Dan could see his passion for learning; it was evident by his desire to discuss accounting topics at the kitchen table and enjoyment of practicing CPA questions during his downtime. Dan’s dedication to staying current in the accounting field helped his teaching methodology, where he was renowned for his accessible lectures. His ability to simplify accounting concepts was likely aided by this constant engagement in the field.

In addition to Dan’s passion for teaching, his dry humor infiltrated the classroom. In fact, his method of handling distracted students was to crack a joke to redirect their attention to the lesson. Another example of Dan’s humor included his Ten Commandments for his class, which included rules

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 41 |41GONZAGA | GONZAGA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

such as “Thou shalt not read thy book” and “Thou shalt not blow smoke (unless towards the IRS).” In preparation for the inevitability of student excuses, Dan prepared a list of common excuses of why a student may have been late on an assignment or for class. For students who visited his office to explain their tardiness, Dan would often just point to his list and make jokes such as, “Which one is it? Number three is quite popular this week.”

One of the most notable stories regarding Dan occurred in a spring semester in the 1980s when a student, who had just completed her Intermediate II final in Dan’s class, was walking to the COG for a welldeserved lunch. She was approached by a younger accounting student and chatted with him about the class. He knew of Dan’s strict reputation and imagining what would be in store for him in Intermediate I the following semester, jokingly retorted, “I hope he dies this summer!” to which the elder student replied, “That’s my dad!” Dan’s response to this story that evening at the dinner table was, “Well, I must still be doing it right.”

The one characteristic that best described Dan’s personality was his humility, both at work and at home. According to Dan’s youngest daughter, Holly Brajcich, his wife Dorothy “was his rock and he would not have been the man he was without her.” While he was not the type of individual who would boast about his children’s or students’ accomplishments, it never prevented Dan from being proud of them. Despite the pride, he would never say goodbye at graduations because he could not bear it. Dan would always be willing to reconnect with his former students though, whether that be to catch up or help them with their employment search.

Dan passed away in 2004, but his legacy lives on through his former students and the Daniel G. Brajcich Endowed Scholarship. This scholarship allows future Gonzaga students to experience the quality of education that Dan helped establish.
