Hot Off The Presses

Each year our Celebrating Excellence publication focuses on faculty achievements. It is an encyclopedia of information on all the people and all the places touched by the work of our educators as they take their expertise beyond their classrooms to the world. The release this summer of two significant publications by Drs. Jim Brasfield and Ali Ovlia has prompted us to print a "second" edition of Celebrating Excellence. Sometimes once is not enough!

Add International To Your Education

Jobs. Family. Finances. Sometimes life gets in the way of adding an international component to your education. For those Webster business students who can't study abroad for a full semester there is now the Walker Travel Award. Qualified students can receive up to $1000 toward a roundtrip coach-class airline ticket to defray the cost of traveling abroad when participating in a HYBRID (online then 7-10 day travel) short term business course. This August you could travel in Spain, Rome and China. Upcoming courses include class travel to Costa Rica, Turkey and Japan.
