Paul Bobrowski, Dean of the School of Business Administra- tion, said RISE will not be con- tinued this year in order to give faculty time to plan events for the future. “We are looking to enhance the value that goes to our students. We would like to have [RISE] be sus- tainable by having it be attached to the faculty…We want them to take ownership of what it is that we are going to go forward with,” said Bobrowski. Bobrowski would like the faculty to “come up with alternative options”, which will include keep- ing parts of the current RISE in addition to making modifications. He said the main idea of this “pause” is to allow faculty to “have a conversation as well as bring about options and alternatives that we would like to pursue.” Bobrowski said he felt RISE was primarily focused on non-UD students.
