Greetings from the Willumstad School of Business!
We hear a lot about the importance of business, and business schools, making a positive impact. This issue of Business@Adelphi includes stories about our School's focus on corporate social responsibility, an alum's service to his tribal community and the dedication of the School's advisory board.
We are delighted to once again be recognized as one of The Princeton Review's Best Business Schools for our on-campus MBA program. We also continue to grow our social media presence to share news about the School. If you are not yet following us on LinkedIn, please do so. The 1,000th person to follow the Robert B.
