As we celebrate 75 years of excellence in the Zimpleman College of Business, I am proud to reflect on the remarkable momentum our students, faculty, alumni, and community partners have created together. This milestone year has brought new achievements in faculty scholarship and thought leadership, expanded community engagement and partnerships, and delivery of innovative learning experiences that prepare our students to lead in a rapidly changing world.
Our college continues to be accredited by AACSB International and the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), endorsed by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), recognized as a Center for Actuarial Excellence (CAE), and a Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) signatory. Over the last five years, more than 98% of our undergraduate and graduate students were employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation.
As we look ahead, our priorities remain clear: strengthening student support, elevating academic excellence, and deepening our connections to the communities we serve. Unrestricted annual giving plays a vital role in this work and provides the flexibility to invest in emerging opportunities, enhance programs, attract and retain exceptional faculty and staff, and ensure every student has the resources they need to thrive. Your generosity fuels our ability to grow, innovate, and empower the next generation of business leaders to make a meaningful difference in the world.
