EVENTS
Over the course of the year the College of Business
and Leadership organized multiple social and
networking events for all current students and
alumni, as well as the broader community. These
events help our students socialize and build
relationships with influential people in the industries
they are interested in. These events help students
increase their visibility, learn, and become motivated
by powerful speakers. These events also give
students an opportunity to start conversations with
employers and offers a chance for recruitment.
Students who took BUS 430, Business Ethics, during
the Fall and Spring semester were involved in
service learning projects in conjunction with Junior
Achievement.

STRATEGIC PLANNING
In the fall 2014 semester, in support of the new University strategic plan, the College of Business & Leadership elected to start the
process of strategic planning within COBAL. At that time, Dr. Patricia O’Connell and Dr. Jennifer Sader were named the co-chairs to the
COBAL Strategic Planning Process that would take place throughout the spring 2015 semester. The COBAL team created preliminary
task lists drawn from the strategic planning input and decision making process. Focused champions and task forces will be assigned for
2015-2016 to further define outcomes and measures of success for this strategic plan.
Visioning Process:
Key components of COBAL Vision drawn from the strategic planning research and the COBAL team:
1.
A community of global learners.
2.
An innovative team.
3.
Rigorous and distinctive programs.
College of Business and Leadership Vision
We develop knowledgeable, values-centered, globally aware graduates who will practice business as a noble profession.
The following strategic initiatives will create the framework for achieving our goals:
Strategic Initiative #1 – Curriculum --- Refine COBAL’s academic curriculum to focus on career and leadership outcomes. Work together
as a team to make it rigorous, creative, and innovative.
Strategic Initiative #2 – Identity --- Define, develop, promote, and strengthen COBAL’s professional image and identity.
Strategic Initiative #3 – Collaboration --- Expand COBAL’s collaborative partnerships with internal and external stakeholders.

SYLVANIA FRANCISCAN
VILLAGE GREEN FUND
For a second consecutive year, students competitively presented proposals
to the Franciscan Village Green Fund that will lessen the carbon footprint of
Lourdes University and the Sisters of St. Francis in Sylvania, Ohio. There were five
successful MBA teams that received funding for the following projects: motionsensor lighting, low-flow restrooms, print paper reduction, and the installation of
refillable water stations. These successful proposals demonstrate our students’
and alumni’s commitment to being leaders in their communities and further
exemplifies business as a noble profession.
Refillable Water Stations: The Lourdes University community was asked to
forgo disposable bottles and cups in favor of reusable beverage containers
and utilizing strategically located refillable water stations around campus. By
removing disposable cups, the institution will save approximately $3,200 per
year. Additionally, by utilizing refillable bottles over disposable cups, this project
will keep up to 8,000 cups out of landfills each year.
Motion Light Sensor Installation: With the installation of 47 motion sensors in St.
Francis Hall and the Canticle Center, Lourdes University will realize a reduction of
more than 90,000 kilowatts used per year, a 30% savings in annual energy bills,
and a 70% decrease in carbon dioxide emission. The motion sensor installation project is set to begin in August 2015.
Water Conservation Project: The installation of low flow toilets and urinals in restrooms located
around campus will assist in reducing water usage and reduce energy costs by $15,011 per year.
Print Management System: Through the installation of a Print Management System with card
readers and PaperCut Software, and implementing a print quota, Lourdes University would
assist in saving 198 trees per year and would realize a 50% reduction in paper.
The Sylvania Franciscan Village (SFV) Green Fund was established in fall 2013 as a way to
encourage and financially support efforts by Lourdes University, Sylvania Franciscan Health, and
the Sisters of St. Francis in creating programs and initiatives that help the community become
more sustainable and environmentally responsible.

IACBE ACCREDITATION
Lourdes University College of Business and Leadership is proud to announce its undergraduate
reaccreditation and first time accreditation for its MBA and MOL programs through the
International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE).
The process of accreditation by the IACBE required the College of Business and Leadership (COBAL) to prepare a comprehensive self-study
in which we demonstrate the extent to which we meet the IACBE’s “Accreditation Principles”. In addition, we underwent a site visit by an
independent team of professional peer reviewers. COBAL’s self-study, the site-visit team’s report of findings, and our response to the report were
then reviewed by the IACBE’s Board of Commissioners, which approved our accreditation status.
Specialized programmatic accreditation by the IACBE is a means by which students, parents, the business community, and other stakeholders of
the institution can be assured that the academic business unit complies with high principles of excellence and follows best practice in business
education. Furthermore, accredited schools have demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvement, excellence in business education,
and advancing academic quality. Accreditation means that the College of Business and Leadership’s programs are considered high-quality, and
that the academic business college is functioning effectively (e.g., is producing excellent student learning outcomes).
