Silver Anniversary Invitation Issue

Plans have been made for the Silver Anniversary ceremony of the naming of The Harry F. Byrd, Jr. School of Business. We hope you will be in attendance for this special occasion. During the ceremony, you will hear different voices of appreciation expressed to Senator Byrd for allowing Shenandoah University to use his name in support of our academic programs, as well as what the Byrd School has individually meant to the program participants. In addition, we acknowledge voices of change both inside and outside the school who are making the Byrd School's mission and vision a reality. In a year of unprecedented economic challenges, the Byrd School moves forward with boldness and determination in providing high quality learning experiences for undergraduate and graduate students.

For the past 25 years, the Byrd School has continued to evolve to meet the changing needs of business graduates who need to think, act, and innovate in unfamiliar and uncertain business environments. The Byrd School brings together students from a variety of backgrounds to hone their skills, competencies, and knowledge so they will be able to achieve satisfying careers. Working with our student body is a faculty who are dedicated teachers and scholars and committed servants. By building on real-world experiences through class interaction, a powerful learning experience is delivered.

Committed to our mission of educating students to become successful, principled leaders with a global perspective, we are addressing the human resource needs of organizations. We know, however, we must continue to produce leaders who not only make a difference in the world, but more importantly, make a difference for the world.

Please join us at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 5, in Stimpson Auditorium of Halpin-Harrison Hall for this special event. Shown below, you will see the Silver Anniversary program information.
