Scholarships and fellowships used to recruit the very best candidates for the school’s innovative programs.
A capstone MBA course called "Top Management Perspectives" that brings the CEOs of major companies into the classroom to discuss organizational challenges with students.
Seed money for faculty pursuing international business research.
Travel funds for Carlson Volunteer Consultants, a team that was among four national finalists to present at the annual Inner-City Leadership Conference.
