Message from the Dean
Thank you for visiting the SIUC College of Business. It is my pleasure to welcome students, alumni, recruiters, peers, and friends to our college. Faculty and staff have set many goals, but our number one priority is to provide a superior learning experience to our students at every academic level. How do we accomplish this? By providing our students with chances to learn, to network and to grow, both personally and professionally, from the moment they decide to become a Saluki.
It is an exciting time to be a business student. The world of commerce is changing more rapidly than ever before, and the practices and methods of doing business are constantly being reinvented. Our faculty members are committed to staying on the cutting edge of innovative and technological advances, and to understanding the impact of those changes on our global economy. Our students learn to be leaders, no matter what career path they choose. This leadership begins with a commitment to ethics and integrity, a spirit of innovation, and a drive to promote business growth and positive contributions to the local, regional, and global community.
There’s a reason we are known for our committed students and smart classrooms. Don’t just take my word for it—see for yourself. Please schedule a visit to campus, or make an appointment to meet or talk with one of our representatives. If you're a recruiter looking for exceptional employees, contact our placement center - we've got the talent. If you're interested in creative ideas on teaching and provocative research, talk to our faculty - they're some of the most interesting people you'll ever meet. If you are a student, we look forward to helping you take the next step in becoming one of the 20,000-plus proud alumni in our College of Business family.
Sincerely,
Dr. J. Dennis Cradit
Dean and Professor of Marketing
