A Message from SSSB Dean Charles Snow

Welcome to the Sy Syms School of Business for what we hope will turn out to be a most exciting year for you.

Our enrollment at the school is the highest it has ever been and many challenges await us.

As always, we are proud to have an outstanding faculty that offers a quality education.  Some of our faculty have been very busy making many appearances on TV, radio and in the print media..  The fact that they are so sought after attests to their quality and should enhance your learning opportunities.  You should all endeavor to get the most out of their expertise.

A number of new offerings are in the planning.  We hope to offer a course on Israeli Business, the first of what I hope will be a number of courses focusing on the Israeli business sector.

In light of Enron, Worldcom, and some of the other auditing debacles, we plan to offer both a course and some presentations on fraud investigation and how to detect and prevent fraud. 

As you have noticed, the stock market has taken a ride southward and the economy is still flirting with recession. This creates additional challenges for the Office of Placement and Career Services. They have worked the entire summer to make the recruiting process a pleasant experience for all. 

They will conduct interview-training workshops and will be videotaping students’ interviewing styles.   In addition, they have many events planned.  I urge your participation.  Working together with the Office will help facilitate your job search.

Throughout the course of the year, I hope to meet many of you.  Please feel free to stop by the office to say hello and discuss any issues that you have.

Wishing you a successful year and a Kesiva V’Chasimah Tova.
