Re-envisioning Student Professional Development Program
Partnering with professional academic services
The updated Student Professional Development Program (SPDP) will add an online course component (external to the degree plan; not for course credit) - comprised of four self-paced professional development and career readiness courses, which each have six modules to complete. This online program was developed externally by subject matter experts, as a combined effort between
Bloomberg/BusinessWeek, Peregrine Academic Services, and Your Success Now. This program is specifically developed and tailored to universities for student professional development. Under the newly developed program, students will complete the online professional development courses before transitioning to the workshops facilitated by CBA faculty members, Dr. Rusty Karst and Dr. Jennifer Taylor. Each student will develop a personal professional online profile, which is a learning and developing profile that can be carried throughout his or her college years and into a professional career. Upon successful completion of the the SPDP program, students will work with CBA Advisor, Cynthia Longoria to select and fulfill a required college immersion experience.

Ralph Russell Distinguished Professorship
$100,000 still needed to fully fund college's first professorship
The Texas A&M University-Kingsville Foundation has announced that Dr. Thomas Russell, class of 1962 and son of Ralph Russell, along with his wife, Jeanne, have made a donation of $100,000 to the College of Business Administration's Ralph Russell Distinguished Professorship.
This gift is in addition to their initial challenge gift of $150,000 in 2012. Since their first gift, several alumni have answered the call to action to help them reach the $750,000 goal. Today, the Ralph Russell Distinguished Professorship has nearly $650,000, leaving a little over $100,000 left. Once fully funded, this will be the first professorship in the College of Business Administration.
