[COBAlumni] Greetings from the College of Business

[cobalumni at tamuc.edu]

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I hope this email finds you "recovered" from a Thanksgiving that was over-flowing with blessings and looking forward to a joyous holiday season filled with friends and family!

It has been a busy fall at A&M - Commerce and the outstanding faculty and staff of the College of Business continue to innovate and excel as they strive to prepare the business leaders of tomorrow. Our Fall 2018 Newsletter is freshly  minted and filled with updates on the accomplishments of our students, faculty, staff and alumni; I hope you enjoy the electronic version attached here.

While new technologies, changing demographics, decreasing state support and increasing student costs are fundamentally changing the collegiate experience; we remain dedicated to becoming the College of Choice for students seeking a highly relevant, accessible business education. Curriculum improvements, a SAP University Partnership, increased industry alliances and transformation of our building are all in the works for the coming year.

If you would like to become more engaged in the College of Business and its life, please reach out to me. I love engaging with alumni and would welcome sharing a cup of coffee with you and/or visiting your company. I enjoy getting to meet with you and appreciate your willingness to help spotlight the "best kept secret" in Texas higher education. We all know that a superlative business education is available from A&M - Commerce's AACSB accredited College of Business; it's time everyone else does, too. Please, help me spread the word!

As the year comes to its conclusion, I offer you my thanks. I continue to approach my work from a place of gratitude for everyone who enables the success of the College of Business. I am grateful to you, our alumni, since you exemplify all that the College has accomplished. Your benevolence continues to pave the way for a successful and sustainable College of Business, ensuring our legacy of transforming lives for future generations.

Best wishes and Merry Christmas,
Shanan
