Interview With the Dean of BPA1 Part II
In the first part of this interview, Robert Milam discussed the Northwest Initiative. At the conclusion of his remarks about that series of off campus GSU classes, we asked him what he would like to see in the future in the College of Business and Public Administration. Here are several of his projections for CBPA.
Milam believes that the BPA curricula, which are reviewed every year, are sound. Material is updated and well organized. The articulation agreements with the junior colleges are working well and the dean attributes this suc cess in part to the Office of Admis sions and Recruitment, for the quality and quantity of the public relations brochures that have been initiated in that department.
Milam is also pleased with the type of Betty KoH, left, Editor of Landscapes and Dean Robert Milam, BPA, during a break advisement system that has been in the discussion of future programs. developed in the College and com mends his faculty and staff.
