As the college embarks on a new phase in its development, many new initiatives will be launched and embraced. This also marks an important time for the community, the business leadership and our alums to recognize how important it is to support the college in various ways. With shrinking state budgets, external resources have now become critical for the College of Business to not only survive, but to flourish. We may have never asked for your help in the past, but under these new circumstances the college needs your support more than ever. The future business leaders that this College will yield will help build the work force that will serve to strengthen Sacramento’s economy in the future. As we fuel the economic engine and the growth of the region an investment in the college and its programs and faculty will be extremely critical in producing the highest quality graduates and maximizing the value of the degree that students receive from the college. Ultimately, you, the business community, will benefit from this investment in our College, as you are hiring our graduates.
