6 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Welcome Menlo Students,

There has never been a better time to be in college, and there has never been a more momentous time to get a Menlo College education. Equipped with our newly-reaffirmed accreditation status, an ambitious strategic plan, and new faculty, we are well into the process of becoming ’s Business School.

With new majors in global finance, accounting, and marketing, we are offering more and improved business courses aimed at making our graduates well-prepared and desirable job candidates in a rapidly changing global market. Along with the teaching and professional corporate expertise of new faculty, we’re offering a new range of intern- ship options tailored to each major that will further enhance your career opportunities upon graduation. Some things haven’t changed…such as our personal attention to students, one-on-one advising, close-knit student life community, and primary emphasis on teaching excellence. You’ll get to know your professors, and they will actively seek you out to maximize your Menlo College experience.

The exceptional tradition of the Menlo Oaks Athletic program continues to help us produce scholar-athletes that shine both on and off the field and court. We’re proud that a large portion of our students participate in sports gaining both team-building skills and life-long friendships.

You can tell a lot about a college by the quality and involvement of its alumni. Our alumni are active on campus, in the Silicon Valley and Bay areas, and they are highly successful all over the world. We bring current students together with alumni in events such as “Speed Networking” – think of speed dating, to give you business contacts, interview skills, internship connections, and an instant network.

We understand the current marketplace, its technology, its regulations, its ethics, its sustainability issues, and its global nature. We are charged with equipping you with the critical thinking, team-building and various communication skills you need to make your way in a challenging and changing environment. We’ve got the tools, and this is your opportunity to use them to your best advantage.

Welcome to Menlo College. Enjoy, learn, and prosper.

Sincerely,

President Timothy Haight
