Dean's Message
On behalf of the Dixie L. Leavitt School of Business faculty and staff, we are excited to welcome you back for the 2022 - 2023 academic year to our beautiful SUU campus!
Countless events and activities are set to take place throughout the entirety of the school year, so get involved in your classes, join clubs and organizations on campus, and take advantage of all SUU has to offer. I encourage you to reach outside of your current comfort zone and try something new this semester! There are many resources throughout campus meant for you. Get to know your professors; they are there to help you with anything you may need and will be a huge stepping stone toward your personal and professional success.
I know we are all still healing from some of the most physically and emotionally difficult years we have had to face in a long time. Thank you for your patience as we grow together and become even stronger. Know there are always places to turn to if you are struggling and that the School of Business is an inclusive environment where all are welcome. I wish you all an exciting semester!
