Abstract

DEAN'S REPORT The 1997-98 academic year was an important one for the Anderson Schools of Management. The Anderson Schools' faculty, staff and students made significant progress toward meeting the Anderson Schools' goals, despite facing a year of limited resources and tight budgets. This report highlights our progress in three important areas: • The Anderson Schools of Management strive to recruit top quality students from the state of New Mexico as well as the Southwest region. We also seek to diversify our student population so that. our students represent all communities. In 1997/98, our undergraduate enrollments increased 9% and our graduate enrollment increased 1 %. In addition, both our programs are increasingly diverse. • We seek to provide a high quality education that will enable student to become productive participants in their professional and community lives at the local, regional and national levels. We encourage our students to think critically and to develop an interest in life-long learning. In surveys of our alumni and of student graduating in 1997/98, students give the Anderson Schools of Management high marks in these areas, as well as for our programs in general. • We pursue national and international recognition for our research activities through publication in respected refereed academic and professional journals and through presentations at distinguished learned societies. Our faculty continues to excel in their fields of expertise. In addition. many of faculty provide leadership in new areas of academic inquiry, including the study of diversity in organizations. business ethics, the role of accounting in organizations, and entrepreneurial studies. Our full-time 47 full-time faculty members contributed over 200 scholarly publications and presentations during 1997/98. Th1s report reviews the Anderson Schools' many accomplishments during 1997/98. It is only a snapshot of our efforts to provide an education of enduring value and to contribute to the academ1c and intellectual growth of our respective fields. Howard L. Smith
