As we begin our journey into the 21st century, our national, state and university communities face important changes in composition. In fact, the Education Testing Service predicts that over 80 percent of the enrollment growth in higher education between 1995 and 2015 will be Hispanic, Asian-American and African-American. Women, racial and ethnic minorities will assume leadership roles of greater prominence both in the work force and in society as a whole. This fact requires that we take steps to embrace the growth of a more diverse society within our university. Our aim at the Manderson Graduate School of Business is to create a community of students and scholars in which all members are respected, nurtured and encouraged to make a positive impact on society.
