BATON ROUGE – Despite challenging economic times in 2010, the Dean’s Circle of the E. J. Ourso College of Business grew by 34 percent in participation and generated $176,998 to the Dean’s Excellence Fund.
“We certainly thank everyone who supported or became part of the Dean’s Circle in 2010,” said E. J. Ourso College Dean Eli Jones. “I’m certain we will show growth again once the numbers are tabulated for 2011.”
According to Jones, Dean’s Circle members provide the working capital needed to fund many pursuits of the college, including funding scholarships, student educational travel expenses, professional development for faculty and staff, software and technology and development initiatives to build alumni and community relationships.
