At Terry, we know that success depends on embracing change and viewing challenges as opportunities. This is especially evident in the stories I hear every day about Terry College young alumni. As this issue of Terry Magazine shows, our alumni have achieved success across a wide variety of fields, from beginning their own businesses to running some of the world’s largest companies. Their willingness to give back to their alma mater is just as impressive. From on-campus lectures and job recruitment to student mentoring and financial contributions, Terry alumni send a clear and consistent message to our students that giving back is an inherent part of success. The Business Learning Community, currently in its second phase of construction, is a perfect example of how alumni support is having a direct impact on education. Students in Correll Hall are now benefiting from its state-of-the-art facilities and working hard to become the next generation of business leaders. There are signs of alumni impact everywhere at Terry. The Student Managed Investment Fund is a premier experiential learning opportunity which provides undergraduate students the opportunity to manage over CASSIE WRIGHT $1.1M of assets initially funded by alumni contributions. Over 500 of these signs of alumni impact are also evident in Terry students being mentored this semester by alumni. It is clear that investing in the Terry College is having a marked impact on the next generation of business leaders. As you read about the amazing things our alumni have accomplished, I hope you notice that the common thread that runs through these stories is the culture of excellence and opportunity in place at the Terry College. I am thankful to all of you for your support which allows that culture to thrive. Sincerely, Benjamin C.

  • LEADERSHIP of the AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL ZION CHURCH in DIFFICULT TIMES Submitted by Cynthia En
    TELLING A NEGLECTED STORY: LEADERSHIP OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL ZION CHURCH IN DIFFICULT TIMES Submitted by Cynthia Enid Willis Stewart, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Theology, January 2011. This thesis is available for library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature.......Cynthia Stewart........................................................... 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have completed this labor without the help of Ian Markham whose insightful and thoughtful comments have shaped this thesis. His tireless encouragement and ongoing support over many years despite a busy schedule brought this work to fruition. To Bishop Nathaniel Jarrett of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, my heartfelt thanks for his superior editorial assistance. I thank my husband, Ronald, for his unwavering support. 2 ABSTRACT The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church connection is a major, historic Black Christian denomination which has long been ignored as a subject of serious academic reflection, especially of an historic nature. This was partly due to the lack of denominational archives, and the sense that historical inventory and archival storage could be a financial drain to the AME Zion Church such it could not maintain its own archives and indeed, retaining official records was kept at a far from super or archival level.

  • Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management
    Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management Academic year 2004 was marked by curriculum and program changes that attest to our continued commitment to innovation. In addition, this year marked a large step forward in the assessment of the MIT Sloan brand and the creation of tools to evaluate and strengthen that brand across the global business community. As competition for the best students continues to grow, our investment in showing the world that we are the leader in innovative management theory and practice (our legacy of mens et manus) continues to be critical. Academic Program Updates MBA Program. The new MBA curriculum, launched in fall 2003, met with great success. While we retained the academic rigor, focus on teamwork, and some core courses, the new curriculum streamlines the core requirements, increases flexibility (so that students can design their program to suit their personal interests and needs), provides an integrated, cross‐functional perspective early in the program, and gives students access to cutting‐edge faculty research early and often throughout their time on campus. We are also pleased to announce that the MIT Sloan MBA Program had the highest or second‐highest student employment rate among top business schools for the third year in a row. MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership. With the strategic integration of the MIT Sloan Fellows Program and the MIT Management of Technology Program, the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership was launched in June 2004, with a strong and diverse class that reflects the strengths of both parent programs.
