The January 2008 issue of the Byrd Business Review introduced you to Halpin-Harrison Hall, the new learning environment of the Harry F. Byrd, Jr. School of Business, through pictures. This issue will continue that introduction. It is our desire that this new structure will transform the face of business education at Shenandoah University by changing the climate of teaching, scholarship and service. As guests tour this new facility they realize Halpin-Harrison Hall communicates quality to the corporate world as well as to prospective students and parents. Talk with current students and faculty and you will come away with their sense of pride in their new academic home. The sign one sees on the first level of the building, which reads Halpin-Harrison Hall: Inspiring Excellence, is a challenge to all of us who function in the new environment. We want to be the very best that we can be, and we want to equip our graduates to become the future leaders of tomorrow regardless of their geographic location in the world. Many of you have already taken a tour, but if you have not, we hope you will come by and enjoy what a group of loyal financial supporters sought as their vision for this new structure several years ago. What a vision and what a building!
