The Dean’s Message

Summer may be in full swing, but the momentum across the Longo Faculty of Business hasn’t slowed down. June has been a month of handson learning, global experiences, and meaningful industry connections, showcasing the continued dedication of our students, faculty, and partners.

Students from our Culinary and Baking programs embarked on a 16-day immersive study abroad experience in Italy and France. Through cheesemaking workshops, pastry labs, and vineyard tours, they gained valuable international exposure and deepened their practical skills in two of the world’s most celebrated culinary regions.

Our Project Management students also stepped into the spotlight, presenting their capstone projects to more than 35 industry professionals, alumni, and sponsors during two dynamic showcase evenings. The events offered students a platform to share their work, receive professional feedback, and build connections that will support their future careers.

Thank you to all faculty, staff, students, and industry partners who continue to create and support these exceptional learning opportunities. Read on for more highlights, from student success stories to experiences that bridge classroom concepts with the real world.
