The School of Business is planning a significant opportunity for all Business Students on November 13. Concurrent
sessions are scheduled at 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. when students have the opportunity to hear from speakers on a variety of
topics. HSU Business School Alumni are supporting these efforts in a variety of ways (it’s still not too late for you to
volunteer to work with students if your schedule permits. Please complete the short Business Alumni Day Volunteer
Survey) https://hsubusiness.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_a5yO6APQOPT3mvj
Students will engage in a Mock Interview Competition at 11:30 a.m. This is expected to be a popular event and the
experience gained will be invaluable in preparing students for their “real interviews” when they apply for jobs. Alumni
are helping and serving as judges for this event. If you would like to participate in the Mock Interviews, please complete
this survey: https://hsubusiness.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_a5yO6APQOPT3mvj. Most of the morning events will take
place in Mooney Hall.
An Etiquette Dinner is scheduled at 6:00 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of Garrison Center. Students and Alumni are
invited to this complimentary dinner. In order for us to plan adequately please complete the Business Alumni Day
Volunteer Survey https://hsubusiness.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_a5yO6APQOPT3mvj and we will have a seat reserved
for you to visit with our students and faculty. We encourage alumni to join us for dinner.
The dinner will conclude with induction of our 2015 Hall of Fame recipient.

Dr. Nathan Campbell, Associate Dean of the School of Business, presents awards to winners of drawing for Gift Certificates.
The School of Business conducted research this year seeking
opinions/feedback from students enrolled in Business Courses
during 2014.
As incentives to complete the questionnaire,
student’s names were entered into a drawing for gift certificates to
the HSU Bookstore.
At a regular meeting members of Alpha Kappa Psi, co-ed
professional business fraternity, witnessed awarding $25 gift
certificates to twenty-five individuals who responded to the survey.
Congratulations WINNERs!!!!!
Thank you for completing the
survey about the School of Business.
Alpha Kappa Psi, our interdisciplinary student Professional Business Fraternity, once again demonstrates their
commitment to improving and enhancing the place where they study, work, and socialize. They take great pride in
helping to beautify the HSU campus and recently completed a Landscaping project around the “Mooney Hall Courtyard”.
This area is often used by students to study, relax, and socialize in an outdoor setting. THANK YOU AKP for your hard
work in making us look good. To see pictures from this and other events visit us at:
