澳客足球

For the fall 2023 semester, the Helzberg School of Management at 澳客足球 is launching a new way to earn their signature MBA degree 鈥� one that lets students build it from the ground up.

The new Stackable MBA, the first of its kind in the region, lets students build a degree by earning three certificates 鈥� one of which being the business administration certificate. It鈥檚 the same makeup of the traditional MBA degree, with courses in management, marketing, business intelligence and economics in addition to a Jesuit core values course.

David Brooks, a New York Times columnist and bestselling author of 鈥淭he Road to Character,鈥� will bring his unique perspective on the American life and keen insights into present-day politics and foreign affairs to Kansas City as the keynote guest of the 11^th澳客足球 Leadership Series event at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 28, 2023, at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Missouri.

澳客足球 awarded close to 300 degrees at its winter commencement ceremony, held Dec. 11, 2022, at Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland in downtown Kansas City.

The program featured two student speakers, with Nhukim Nguyen, a biochemistry major, representing undergraduate students, and Jessica Davis, a Doctor of Education degree recipient, representing graduate students.

Students who earned degrees are:

Erica Akins

Celeste Allen

Jennifer Amundson-Mullins

Erin Anderson

Annabel Avery

Ettore Ballestracci

Emily Bange

澳客足球 student-athletes are at the top of their conference and in the top 10 nationally among all NCAA Division II schools in a new report measuring academic success.

Diego Gutierrez, DBA, assistant professor of management and marketing, is no stranger to the excitement of soccer on the big stage. The 澳客足球 graduate was a member of the Hawks soccer team during his time here, then had a long career in Major League Soccer with both the Chicago Fire and the Kansas City Wizards (now Sporting KC) and was part of the U.S. Men's National Team before becoming a soccer broadcaster with Fox Sports 1.

鈥淲hy me, oh Lord?鈥�

It鈥檚 a question Alvin Brooks said he has asked himself at different points throughout his life 鈥� in trying times and in moments of triumph. And it was one, he said, that he found himself asking again on Friday as 澳客足球 broke ground on a faith-justice center named in his honor. It was only recently that Brooks said he got an answer to the question, coming down the escalator after receiving the 2022 Henry W. Bloch Human Relations Award with his close friend, U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II.

鈥淕o Hawks.鈥�

Sandra Cassady, Ph.D., closed her inaugural speech Friday with a cheer, marking her official appointment into the 15^th president of 澳客足球.

Cassady 鈥� who assumed duties of the presidency in June following the departure of the Rev. Thomas B. Curran, S.J. 鈥� was officially installed Friday, Nov. 11, in a series of afternoon events on campus.

Andrews McMeel Universal (AMU) will launch a new award for students at 澳客足球 to execute multimedia creative projects centered around diversity, equity and inclusion in honor of John P. McMeel, co-founder of AMU.

It's Inauguration Week!
