Message from the dean
Iyer
Dear Alumni and Friends,
As we enter the last few months of the School of Management’s centennial celebration, it is a time of considerable reflection. We spent a significant part of the past year acknowledging the many milestones that brought us to this point, while simultaneously planning the next big steps for our future. In this issue of Buffalo Business, you will see examples of both.
In Startups, you’ll see how we are demonstrating the connection that virtually everything we do ties into our four strategic initiatives.
You can also read about some of the many ways we celebrated our 100-year anniversary, including the nine alumni honored with Centennial Achievement and Impact awards for the mark they have made on the world through their leadership.
From producing groundbreaking research to welcoming a new crop of professors who joined our ranks in the fall to tapping into our vast alumni network to enrich our student experience to our continued ascent in various rankings, the School of Management has hit the ground running as we enter our second century.
For 100 years, UB School of Management graduates have shaped the future of business as leaders, innovators and catalysts of change. As we stand at the crossroads of the past and the future, we look forward to continuing our partnership with all of you as we prepare to take the next giant leap.
Best regards,
Ananth Iyer
Dean
