plan now to attend scott college homecoming hullabaloo
Plans are currently underway for our first Scott College of Business Homecoming Hullabaloo Oct. 15, 2011, at The Ohio Building's Casa Urbana in Terre Haute.
The event will follow a full day of Indiana State University Homecoming festivities, including the Blue and White Parade (9 a.m.), Tent City (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and ISU's football game against Western Illinois (3:05 p.m.), so make plans now for the Hullabaloo to be an important part of your Homecoming celebration!
The Homecoming theme this year is "Showtime Sycamores," so this event will center around movies, film and Hollywood glitter and glam. We also will be having a “Walk of Fame” sponsorship opportunity where you can purchase a Hollywood Star with your name or company name on it for $100 to help offset the cost of the event and support professional development opportunities for our students (all proceeds will benefit this cause).
Sponsorships are now available and you can reserve you tickets online (a limited number are available) or by calling Venus Pierce in the dean's office at (812) 237-2000, so get in touch if you are interested in supporting this worthwhile event!

mentors needed for scott college of business students
We are in the process of recruiting additional mentors for the Scott College of Business Mentor Program and need your help.
The program generally takes place during the sophomore or junior year of undergraduate study, and its focus is career and professional development and internship preparation. The primary goal of the program is to provide students with a corporate/professional point of view to complement the work of the ISU faculty as students work towards their careers. It is intended to enhance the student’s experiences through personalized attention from a seasoned professional.
Volunteers would be paired with students as early as possible this
semester. For more information or to volunteer to be a mentor,

europeans unconvinced about leadership in economic recoveryEuropeans are not convinced that European Union leaders dealing with the region's economic bailout "have a clue as to how to solve this," an Indiana State University visiting scholar said. There is a high degree of disagreement amongst the various EU institutions and their key actors, said Professor Sandeep Gopalan, head of the law department at the University of Ireland, Maynooth, who was a visiting scholar to the Scott College of Business at ISU. His visit is sponsored by the college's Networks Financial Institute (NFI).

Though Sandeep Gopalan taught Indiana State University students in a classroom a continent away from their Terre Haute campus, it wasn't his first time teaching them. Back in the U.S., he shared a building with them. Gopalan, head of the department of law at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth, is a visiting scholar in the Scott College of Business at ISU. During his visit in the 2010-2011 academic year, Gopalan worked with ISU professors and students to create different projects to teach students. The projects ranged from a role-play simulation for research to a three-week travel experience earlier this summer where students learned about international business - in Europe.

Indiana
State University professor Art Sherwood
devised a final project for his students
that was, in a word, brilliant!
Sherwood, an ISU associate professor of management, taught his international business management course during a three-week journey a group of students embarked on to Europe. Since he and the students resided in Ireland at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth, during their stay, he implemented an iconic Irish resource into his course: the archives at the Guinness Storehouse in nearby Dublin.
