SBE sponsors chapel series on the "Theology of Work " This quarter, the School of Business and Economics has taken the lead in organizing the speakers for the gather chapel events. The theme of "Theology of Work" gets at the often overlooked fact that God is vitally interested in all aspects of our lives, and our daily work and vocation is a huge area that we might overlook as a setting for the work of His Kingdom. Consider joining us for these remaining gather events at 9:30 a.m. at First Free Methodist Church. May 18: Roger Bairstow “Growing Fruit that Will Last: a business-as-ministry story” May 25: Grant Learned & Ted Schroth "Capitalists Glorifying God" June 1: John Terrill “The Promise of Heaven for our Earthly Work” A discussion of work and the New Creation. SBE Honors and Scholarship Luncheon, Tuesday the 18th Our annual honors luncheon is scheduled for this Tuesday, May 18th. After the lunch itself, the Beta Gamma Sigma honor society will induct our top undergraduate and graduate students into the society. Their names are already listed on their web page. Beta Gamma Sigma is the business school equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa in colleges of arts and sciences, and may only be awarded by AACSB accredited schools. SPU business graduate Glenn Lurie is our speaker for this invitation-only honors luncheon. Glenn is now President of Emerging Devices, Resale and Partnerships for AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. He leads AT&T’s strategic initiative to drive innovation in bringing wireless connectivity to new devices and applications. Mr. Lurie also has responsibilities for AT&T’s on-going operations and relationship with Apple Inc., having led negotiations to bring the iPhone and iPhone 3G to AT&T. SBE at the Mariners,

Taking summer courses elsewhere? Here's what to watch out for. From Debbie Crouch, Associate Director of Academic Advising: If you plan to complete
coursework through another institution—whether in the U.S. or abroad—you
must consult with a faculty advisor (your regular advisor for courses
from U.S. schools; Dr. Downing for study abroad courses) and
an academic counselor before
enrolling in classes. Approval for transfer of classes from other
schools is obtained by completing
this form. Your faculty advisor approves courses you plan to
transfer toward major and/or minor requirements. Academic
counselors will ensure that:
We want to make sure you spend your money on classes
that actually will transfer to SPU and fulfill degree requirements!
Not admitted into one of our majors yet? All upper division SBE courses will be restricted to you (they have “major-restriction” holds on them). If you are intending to apply to one of our majors next Winter, and have taken all lower division SBE courses available, please email Elizabeth Gordon (eg@spu.edu) and request your GPA be calculated for admission into upper division courses. If you are considered “on track” for admission next year she will lift restrictions for you. Business, Economics, or Entrepreneurship Minor? Although required for completion of your minor, many of our courses have “major-restrictions”. Prior to registering for these courses you will need to contact the Undergraduate Coordinator in SBE, Elizabeth Gordon, who can remove major restriction holds for you. You may email her at eg@spu.edu, as soon as you have made your schedule for the following quarter. Do your best not to wait until registration week, or it may delay your ability to register for the classes you need.
All SBE Majors Accountable for Writing Competency
Requirement and Signature Experience Requirement. Have you started yet?
From the SPU 2009-10 Undergraduate Catalog: Writing Competency
Requirement All SBE majors (accounting, business administration, and economics) must meet the writing competency requirement listed below:
Signature Experience Requirement SBE is committed to providing an educational experience that is grounded in Christian faith, ethics, and character. It is also committed to providing a business education that works well "on the ground" in our increasingly global environment. To strengthen these commitments, students graduating with a major in business administration must satisfy the SBE Signature Experience Requirement by completing one of these options:
Note:
In most cases, the credits earned while completing the Signature
Experience Requirement also meet another requirement of the business
administration major. The signature experience requirement applies to
students who are admitted to the School of Business and Economics
starting with the 2007–08 academic year. |
