Spread the word! The Whitman School is holding its first specialized career fair in marketing on Tuesday, Feb. 27 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the Flaum Grand Hall. This is an excellent opportunity for companies with internship and job openings in marketing to meet face-to-face with talented and skilled marketing students in the Whitman School. For more information please contact Career Center Director Angela Petrucco at apetrucc@syr.edu or 315-443-9611.

The Whitman School will soon be added to a list of only 23 schools in the United States to receive a blanket waiver for the American Society of Transportation & Logistics (AST&L) certification. This blanket waiver will benefit students in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) program, allowing them to graduate with automatic AST&L certification in Transportation and Logistics. Our students will now be able to bypass a set of exams by enrolling in specific courses to be certified in Transportation and Logistics (CTL) upon graduation. Whitman students will now be even more marketable to employers with a strong knowledge in transportation, traffic, distribution, and materials management. 

The Whitman School proudly announces its new iMS in Accounting program, which expects soon to begin accepting new students for Fall 2007. The new iMS Accounting program prepares professionals for the expanded role accounting plays in business strategy, consulting, information management, and planning and decision-making. It also provides professionals the opportunity to earn an MS degree and meet the educational requirements for CPA licensure while working full-time. This is the only MS program of its kind in New York State.  For more information, contact iMS in Accounting program director Bill Walsh.

The Whitman School is actively involved in SU's ambitious Scholarship in Action mission--and one of our own Whitman students, Angelo Roefaro '07, was recently held up as an example of Scholarship in Action by Chancellor Nancy Cantor during an address to the campus community. On Jan. 23, Cantor expounded on Angelo's sentiments: “The words scholarship and action are powerful words because they imply that only in action, only in an intense desire, can we grow as individuals. When we enter Syracuse University, we must crave a discovery of new knowledge, our scholarship. When we leave Syracuse University, we must integrate that knowledge in order to have a new understanding for how we can change our world, our action.” At Whitman, we strive for all our students to have the same transforming experience as Angelo.
