Elon’s Martha and Spencer Love School of Business and Dean John Burbridge were part of a May 2005 cover story in BizLife magazine on business education in the Triad region of North Carolina.
Written by reporter Jerry Blackwelder, the article focuses on business education at Elon and five other Triad universities. The story recognizes Elon for “a strong program in leadership skills, both in executive education certificate courses and degree-related classes,” and cites the new executive education program. Also mentioned is the Koury Business Center, the future home of the Love School which is scheduled to open in 2006.
The story says business schools in the region will continue to grow in the coming years because of the expansion of international business and the demand for a highly skilled workforce. “We’ll continue to see a great deal of interest in our undergraduate programs, especially in accounting, and our executive leadership programs,” Burbridge says in the story.
