I am pleased to announce that the Whitman School has a new website: www.whitman.syr.edu. Nearly a year in the making, this new site represents the mission of the Whitman School--to offer a cutting-edge, relevant business education in a student-friendly, technology-rich, and internationally-focused environment. The new Whitman website was designed with prospective students, corporate recruiters, and alumni and friends in mind, and has a variety of interactive new media features that effectively harness the most current and state-of-the-art technologies. Please take a few moments to browse through the site--and feel free to make it your default homepage!

The Whitman Alumni Club is sponsoring an exciting new fundraiser to help create scholarship opportunities for current Whitman students. The Syracuse University Varsity Throwback Jacket was designed by the alumni club to appeal to the larger SU community, and included is the option for proud alumni to have "Whitman School" custom-embroidered on the front of the jacket. For more information or to order your jacket, contact Gary La Point, assistant professor of supply chain management practice.
