Charting Change

By NBEA President Colleen Webb

With growth and changes comes the soon to be released fifth edition of the NBEA Business Education Standards . Thank you to Karen Williams and her team of business educators for the hours of work that they have put into the revision of this document, so vital to our curriculum. Along with growth and change, we have many enhanced membership benefits coming to you, our valued NBEA members. First and foremost, we will have unveiled the new, modern NBEA website ( nbea.org ) on April 2. If you haven’t already done so, check it out. It is user-friendly and contains so much more valuable information for our members. Our publications will finally be put online and made visible to search engines. We are also looking into ways that we can group topics from our archived publications, making them into collections that are searchable as well. We are also in the process of archiving publications from our affiliates and adding them to NBEA’s online library. Along with rapid change and evolution, as of April 1 our executive director Joseph (Joe) McClary will have been on the job some 150 days. Through his dynamic leadership, NBEA will march into the next decade as an organization that has streamlined and automated many of its operations and services to the membership, making NBEA a stronger, more cohesive organization. We hope you enjoy this edition of KeyingIN.

St. Thomas Dean On Reinventing Business Education

Mindful of increased competition in higher education and changing appetites for business education, Stefanie Lenway concluded that the University of St. Thomas business school needed a makeover. The dean of Opus College of Business since 2014, Lenway unveiled a plan in February that shakes up the organizational structure, places a heavier emphasis on technology and online courses, and offers “stackable credentials” in popular areas such as business analytics.
