2007PRINCESS ANNE, MD – A new link, connecting the University’s Business programs with the regional business community, is growing. The Business Executive Advisory Council, assembled by the School of Business and Technology Acting Dean, Dr.\u00a0Ayodele\u00a0J.\u00a0Alade, in partnership with Institutional Advancement, was convened for the first time late last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group is charged with advising the dean for incorporation of real-world challenges in the academic program and will provide a valuable professional networking opportunity for faculty and students in the program. The members of the council represent a variety of long-established and the relatively new leadership companies in the region and will work in partnership with the UMES faculty to enhance the quality of education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are looking forward to learning from these successful business leaders,” said\u00a0Alade. “And we will share our expertise with them. The council will be a valuable resource as the Department of Business, Management and Accounting pursues accreditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
