AACSB recognizes Schroeder School for caring faculty, robust student engagement

The University of Evansville Schroeder Family School of Business Administration has maintained its accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International.

AACSB International is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degrees in business and accounting. The AACSB accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education. Less than 5% of the world’s business programs have earned this distinction.

Achieving accreditation is a rigorous process in which the school focuses on developing and implementing a plan to align with AACSB’s accreditation standards. After accreditation is achieved, the school takes part in a five-year continuous improvement peer review to maintain high quality and extend accreditation.

“AACSB congratulates the University of Evansville and Dean Beverly Brockman on extending accreditation,” said Stephanie M. Bryant, executive vice president and chief accreditation officer of AACSB International. “The intense peer review process confirms a school’s continued focus on excellence in all areas, including teaching, research, curriculum development, and student learning. UE’s dedication to delivering high quality business education will create the next generation of great leaders.”

The peer review team from AACSB concluded that Schroeder School faculty are deeply engaged in student learning and advising, research, service to community nonprofit boards, and professional consulting. The team also commended the robust program of student engagement within the School. Examples of student engagement include LEAD Forward, a leadership training program for students; the ACES Passport career development program; numerous business-focused student clubs; study abroad opportunities at Harlaxton College in the United Kingdom; and the 100% internship completion rate prior to graduation.

“It’s a wonderful feeling to maintain our AACSB accreditation and continue the work of preparing business leaders of the future,” said Beverly Brockman, dean of the Schroeder Family School of Business Administration. “Our ongoing goal is to not only provide an exceptional learning environment, but also equip students with the skills and experience to achieve long-term professional success.”

Brockman also noted the excellent outcomes for Schroeder School graduates. For the graduating classes of 2019 and 2020, an average of 96% were employed or in graduate school within 3 months. Additionally, the starting salary for graduates was over $49,000.

USI Virtual Law Day To Feature Keynote From Harvard Law Professor, International Criminal Court Prosecutor

0

The University of Southern Indiana College of Liberal Arts will host a virtual Law Day on Wednesday, February 10, featuring a keynote address from Alex Whiting, Professor of Practice at Harvard Law School.

Whiting is currently serving in the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague, Netherlands, where he also served as Investigations Coordinator and Prosecutions Coordinator from 2010-13. Prior to his service at the ICC, he worked for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, and was a U.S. federal prosecutor for the Civil Rights Division in Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston.

A full schedule of the day’s events is below:

10 a.m.: Indiana Court of Appeals Oral Argument

The Court will hear State of Indiana v. Andrew M. Royer, 20A-PC-955, a post-conviction relief case out of Elkhart County.

The State appeals the post-conviction court’s grant of Andrew Royer’s successive petition for post-conviction relief. The post-conviction court found that newly discovered evidence of unconstitutional conduct by the State during Royer’s 2005 felony murder trial entitled Royer to a new trial. The State argues the evidence Royer offered at his post-conviction hearing regarding the reliability of his confessions to police was known at trial or could have been discovered with the exercise of reasonable diligence; immaterial; cumulative; merely impeaching; and/or would not probably produce a different result at retrial. Royer argues that the State used false evidence implicating Royer’s co-defendant to link Royer to the crime; failed to disclose material, exculpatory evidence; and failed to disclose critical impeachment evidence.

The oral arguments will be live streamed and are free and open to the public. A moderated Q&A session with the Court of Appeals will be held following oral arguments.

2 p.m.: Panel Discussion – Careers in the Legal Field

Dr. Melinda Roberts, Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Associate Professor of Criminal Justice, will lead a panel discussion with area legal professionals. Registration will be required for access. Zoom details will be provided upon confirmation.

6 p.m.: Keynote Presentation

Whiting will present participate in an interview with Dr. Nick LaRowe, USI Associate Professor of Political Science and Coordinator of the Pre-Law Program.

 

Helping Hoosier Children Reach Their Full Potential

0
COVID-19 disrupted many aspects of our lives and the lives of Hoosier students. This session, I am authoring House Bill 1008 to ensure children who face learning loss due the effects of the pandemic can catch up and get ahead.

A recent study completed by Stanford’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes shows the average Hoosier student lost 129 days of reading knowledge and 209 days of math knowledge as a result of COVID-19 disruptions.

By establishing the Student Learning Recovery Grant Program, $150 million could be provided to individuals or organizations to help students who have fallen behind in class, scored below academic standards, or who are at risk of falling behind.

Click here for program criteria and other details.

After passing the Indiana House of Representatives, this legislation now moves to the Senate for further consideration. For more information on House Bill 1008, visit iga.in.gov.

Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” February 8. 2021

0

Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning local, state, national, or international issues

The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss local, state, national, or world issues that they feel passionate about.

We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” 7 days a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.
