Message from the Dean : Crisis & Change

Crisis and change: We have dedicated our 2009 magazine to the challenges they present and the opportunities that can be gained by meeting both head on. Change is something we at the SBT eat for breakfast. Why? If we didn't embrace change or if we ran from a crisis instead of steeling our way through, we would not be serving our students, our faculty, our alumni and our world.

Fresh off the press Notabene 2009 is available electronically or as a magazine sent directly to your home. Just a few items you'll find inside this issue; how our alumni are overcoming crisis, SBT gains new ACBSP accreditation, the first-of-its-kind Global MBA program and Webster in the midst of leadership change with a new president and chancellor. It's been said "when you are through changing, you are through." As you read NotaBene 2009, we are hopeful that you will come to a meaningful appreciation of the reality of crisis and the opportunity that comes with change.
