2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT

2014-2015

ANNUAL REPORT

We help businesses create a better world through developing passionate, ethical business leaders who get results with integrity, and through thought leadership that is visible and that positively impacts the practice of business.

Dear Wake Forest School of Business Investors,

As we continue to pursue our vision of becoming the premier School for business, we have a responsibility not only to be market relevant, but also to be market leading. Such a commitment demands a level of constant change and focused agility that is rarely found in organizations. Our innovative culture is deeply rooted in our willingness to pursue bold moves with a constant focus towards emerging market needs. By continuously evolving our programs, we are meeting that responsibility, preparing our students, and supporting our alumni and partners to lead with competence, integrity, and a deep commitment to shaping the future of business in their communities.

It is in this spirit that I am honored to share with you the collective accomplishments of our faculty, staff, students, alumni, and partners from the 2014-2015 academic year. We have made significant progress toward realizing our vision, yet there is still more work to do. We will be relentless in our pursuit of fielding top programs and academic centers, cultivating deeper marketplace partnerships, constantly enhancing our thriving culture of innovation, and generating thought leadership on issues that matter to industry. And when we fall short of our expectations, we will get up, dust off, and pick up the forward pace quickly, because that is what innovators do.

In this first annual report, you will find a summary of the work that our dedicated team has completed during the 2014-15 academic year as we sought to enhance the distinctiveness of our academic programs and research. You will also learn about the three Academic Centers and our Office of Diversity & Global Initiatives, which act as our school-wide change catalysts for innovations across everything we do. None of this would be possible without the important contributions our alumni, advisors, and partners make to the mission of our School.

As this report indicates, we have much to celebrate this year. For that, I am thankful to each one of you for the contributions that have made our successes possible. I am humbled by your dedication to our shared mission and your tireless efforts and support for our programs.

I look forward to continued collaboration as we work together to create an even brighter future for our School and our students, alumni, and partners.

Charles Iacovou Dean, Wake Forest School of Business
