THE COLLEGE COMMUNIQUÉ - Dean's update to the community
College of Business and Public Administration - Cal State San Bernardino
September 2005
Have you heard someone say lately, "This is the time for me to go
back to earn my MBA!" or "My neighbor wants to find out about getting a
bachelor's degree?" If so, tell them that the CSUSB's College of
Business & Public Administration is still taking applications for the
fall quarter that begins on September 22. Direct them
to our website where they will
find application information (click "apply" on top bar). We offer value with accredited
programs.
On a personal note, it is
stunning when I realize that my family and I have
already been in this community for a year. I have met so many
stakeholders in the College, but look forward to the years ahead as we
develop programs to better serve our students and the community.
Best
wishes,
Karen Dill Bowerman,
Dean
of CBPA
CBPA's Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship (IECE) was designated the recipient of funding for an “Integrated Technology Transfer Network" (ITTN) in cooperation with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. Dr. Mike Stull will oversee the program, and Monica Brule is the program manager. IECE shall create the technology transfer network to teach business skills to minority graduates in science, engineering, or math from around the U.S. Entrepreneurial teaching areas will facilitate commercialization of technologies within the Army’s focus areas. Post-grad students will come to CBPA, live in the residence halls for the winter and spring quarters, study business, entrepreneurship, and technology transfer, and then they will be given the opportunity to apply their skills with the Army Research Laboratory in a summer internship. Curriculum will be ready for delivery in January when the first group of students arrive.

Professor Guenther Kress [center, with Dean Bowerman and President Karnig] was named "Outstanding Administrator - Education" by the Inland Empire Chapter of the American Society of Public Administration at its June awards luncheon held in Riverside.
Professor Sue Greenfeld (Management) was recognized by Springboard as their "Education Partner of the Year." As stated in Springboard's Annual Report, "It's with the help of outstanding Board members like Dr. Greenfeld that we continue to exceed industry standards."
CBPA's Internship Program is now more accessible to the community, with one central contact number, regardless of the functional area of the internship project. Staff will assist by posting the opening for all CBPA students, and getting the information to the appropriate department internally. Organizations that post openings at least 3 to 4 weeks prior to the start of a new quarter typically have the optimal pool of candidates, but it is still not too late for the fall quarter. Projects are usually structured to be ten weeks in duration, and about 15 hours per week. Most student interns receive an hourly wage from the organization, and all receive academic credit from the university. If you are a potential internship host organization, please contact us by clicking here or calling (909) 537-3581. CBPA's Internship Program is integral to our mission as an applied college. Last year CBPA had 250 interns! "Learn : Apply : Succeed!"
The 2006-07 Dean's Executive Advisory Board has been formed. The membership roster is posted, and I look forward to the Board's first meeting of the academic year next week. New faculty will be introduced, and a feedback session on what constitutes top quality business and public administration programs for our two-county region will be held.
