Advising and Registration
SBE Minors Take Note
Business Administration, Economics, and
Entrepreneurship minors must email Elizabeth Gordon (eg@spu.edu)
as soon as possible, to request that major restrictions be
lifted from any upper division courses they plan on taking for
their Minor.
Not Admitted Yet?
Upper division Business Administration,
Economics, and Accounting courses are restricted to SBE Majors
only. If you would like to register for one of those courses,
you’ll need to email Elizabeth Gordon (eg@spu.edu)
with that request and include your student ID number. She will
calculate your cumulative and SBE GPAs to make sure you are on
track for admission (2.85 or better). If you meet the minimum,
she will allow you to register for them.
 CSC
1123 or Approved Spreadsheet Waiver Still a Requirement for all
SBE Majors
Many SBE intended majors continue to
overlook the SBE Spreadsheet Competency requirement. There
are many ways to satisfy this requirement, but students who are
otherwise ready to register for MAT 2700 Statistics for
Business and Economics or ACCT 2362 Managerial
Economics will be prevented from registering until this
"competency requirement" is satisfied.
See the full policy here. Most students satisfy
this requirement by completing the 1-credit CSC 1123
Spreadsheets course. Eight sections of CSC 1123 were
scheduled in 2009-10 and two of these sections are available
Spring quarter.

Student Organizations
AUSBE:
The Associated Undergraduate Students of Business and Economics
In honor of the late
Dr. Lisa Klein Surdyk, AUSBE is hosting a fundraiser to
support her family. AUSBE is collecting donations to go towards
gift certificates to restaurants, movies, and other family
activities. If you would like to contribute to this cause, there
is a collection being taken at the SBE front desk (2nd floor,
McKenna Hall) and at all AUSBE events. With your help we
can reach our goal of $200 to help them through this difficult
time. Thank you for your continued prayers for her family!
Upcoming events:

exciting events coming Spring quarter!
Center for Applied Learning
4th Annual
Social Venture Plan Competition
Students from a variety of majors have been
coming together to develop the idea that a sustainable business
can have a social cause and be profitable! Participants for the
past four years have challenged the way we do business through
participating in the Social Venture Plan Competition. This year
we will not only have participants from SPU but also from other
universities. If you have been wondering if you should get
involved, now is the time to get off the fence. Contact Dr. Don
Summers for more information at
summed@spu.edu. You
have until March 17 to turn in your written project! Also,
if you have not turned in your Intent to Participate
form, then please contact Dr. Summers now. Full details
about the SVPC are
here.
If your schedule will not allow you to
participate, that's OK! Support your fellow students by
following their journey on the
SVPC blog!
And read what the
Queen Anne & Magnolia News reported about our SVPC!
