COMMENTS
--Stillman undergraduate students have won several important external awards. For the past several years, we have earned first place honors at the prestigious NY Society of Security Analysts Investment Research Challenge (beating out MBA teams from such schools as NYU, Columbia, Fordham and Rutgers). The School earned a national award, given by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, for our truly excellent and unique undergraduate curriculum assessment process, the only business school nationally to receive this honor. Our student-run Sports Polls have been carried by any number of media outlets, including ESPN, Bloomberg and a host of newspapers. We have the only undergraduate business newspaper. We just constructed our new focus group room. Our alumni have earned prestigious awards from Beta Gamma Sigma. We have discipline-based advisory boards to help us stay connected with the industry. These kinds of achievements are not captured in the survey's current format. Our students understand their role on making the academic experience of all students the best it can be. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this year's analysis of undergraduate business programs.
