Welcome to the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver.
It is an exciting time to be a part of the Daniels community. The business world is undergoing remarkable change unprecedented in modern times. More than ever, we have the steadfast belief that there is a greater purpose to business, and that business should be a driving force behind public good and change around the world.
At Daniels, we also believe that business leadership requires not only technical business competence, but a commitment to global stewardship and ethical practice. Daniels has a century-old legacy of rigorous business academics and ethical leadership and is ranked among the best in the world by BusinessWeek, the Financial Times and U.S. News and World Report.
This legacy continues to grow, thanks to the entire Daniels community for their commitment to innovation and excellence. It's our vigorous intellect, energetic spirit and collaborative character that continue to set Daniels apart.
Let me introduce you to the Daniels community:
Faculty: Our faculty members mean business in the classroom. They have extensive experience in business consulting, leading major corporations and starting entrepreneurial ventures. With this background, our faculty members are experts in bridging the gap between theory and real-world applications. They employ case studies, simulations and in-the-field experiences to ensure their students not only learn but live new concepts and skills. As a private school, our faculty members have the dual role of teacher and mentor taking a genuine interest in their students' future.
Students: Our students are seeking a business education with a higher purpose. They want to make a living--and a good one at that--but they also want to make a difference in their companies and communities. At Daniels, we equip them to do both. Here, they find challenging coursework in advanced business topics and a comprehensive study of ethics and social responsibility. This powerful combination prepares them to navigate unforeseen business challenges and succeed, with integrity, in the competitive global marketplace.
Alumni: Our alumni are making their marks in the world of business. We count CEOs and executives of companies such as Toyota USA, Frontier Airlines, Visa Corporation and Vail Resorts among our alumni. Our 30,000-strong alumni network that spans the globe is a testament to the belief that the bonds and friendships formed at Daniels don't end on graduation day. With each graduating class, we know the new Daniels alumni will continue this great legacy of involvement.
Corporate Partners: Our corporate partners are truly partners in the success of our College. Through internships and student consulting projects, they entrust students with solving their business issues and challenges. It's a win-win: the students gain invaluable, real-world experience and our corporate partners gain fresh insights and dedicated attention. Another winning relationship is the one between our corporate partners and career services. Extensive recruiting opportunities--from one-on-one meetings to career fairs--make it easy for recruiters to meet and hire our high-quality students.
I am honored to be a member of this community that is expanding horizons, changing the world of business and, in the process, transforming lives.
I invite you to become a part of our tradition and share in our exciting future.
With warm regards,
Dr. Christine Riordan
