JOHN OSBORN President and CEO BBDO New York 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, April 15, 2015 Holmes Convocation Center HARLAN E. BOYLES The Harlan E. Boyles Distinguished CEO Lecture Series was named in honor of our former and late State Treasurer. The series brings a chief executive officer to campus each semester for classroom visits, an executive luncheon, lecture and reception. This provides many opportunities for interaction with students, faculty and the business community. Harlan Boyles served the State of North Carolina for 49 years, including six four-year terms as Treasurer. He was dedicated to education and, through his involvement with Appalachian and the Walker College, was able to share his experience, advice and wise counsel with hundreds of students and future business leaders. 21 || In 1991, with the assistance of Senator James T. Broyhill and the leadership of Dr. Kenneth E. Peacock, an endowment fund was established to support the Boyles lecture series. In 2000, on the occasion of Treasurer Boyles’ retirement from state government, a second endowment was established to support a faculty professorship and student scholarships. In 2004, the lobby on the second floor of Peacock Hall, was dedicated to the memory of Harlan Boyles. The renovation of the lobby provided an inviting entrance to Peacock Hall with its custom-made display cases highlighting memorabilia from Treasurer Boyles’ career and personal life, comfortable chairs, tables for study and a built-in media center. In 2009, a 30-seat board room was added adjacent to the Boyles lobby. This executivestyle board room serves as a meeting space for the Business Advisory Council, as well as other College of Business advisory boards. State Employees Credit Union CEO Jim Blaine (second from left) served as the 54th lecturer in the series. Pictured with Blaine are, from left, Edward Boyles, Chancellor Sheri N.

Opportunities exist for students to connect with the community and industry professionals not only through events like today’s CEO Lecture, but also by participating in programs and offerings from resource centers. The BB&T Student Leadership Center and the Brantley Risk and Insurance Center, which boasts the fifth largest Risk Management and Insurance program in the country, serve hundreds of students through professional presentations and college and center-level activities such as shadow days and career fairs. Hands-on, real-world exposure to industry is a hallmark of the Walker College of Business. Undergraduates from the Walker College recently won the N.C. Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Society Research Challenge. The students, Caitlin Owings, left, Matthew Wine, Nathan Birmingham and Brett Featherstone are all members of the Bowden Investment Group in the Department of Finance, Banking and Insurance. The goal of the research challenge is to provide students with a real-world application of writing research reports. The challenge also teaches best practices in research to the next generation of analysts and offers experiences that complement students’ academic curriculum. Appalachian teams have won in five of the seven years that the competition has been held in North Carolina, and Appalachian is the only university in the state to have a team in the finals in all seven years. The Walker College of Business incorporates a global orientation as an integral component of students’ academic experience. All students satisfy a global issues requirement, and many participate in a study abroad program. In the past year, 168 graduate and undergraduate students studied abroad on six continents in 18 countries, including Belize, Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, England, France, Malawi, Panama, Poland and Zambia. Walker College Highlights The Walker College of Business Scholarship Reception provides a forum for student scholarship recipients to meet their benefactors. The event brings together hundreds of individuals - the donors who make a difference in the lives of tomorrow’s business leaders and the student recipients. For the 2013-14 academic year, approximately $373,000 was awarded to 354 students. The 2015 Scholarship Reception is scheduled for October 23. Twenty-three professional organizations and honor societies are represented in the college. Student groups regularly travel to national conferences to network in their fields, develop leadership skills, compete against peers and grow their professional skills. Pictured are student members of Appalachian’s American Marketing Association (AMA) chapter, who recently traveled to New Orleans, LA to participate in the AMA International Collegiate Conference. Greetings from the Dean Our commitment to deliver transformational educational experiences to our students is steadfast. As dean of the Walker College of Business, I am building on a tradition of excellence set by my predecessors. The college will continue to expand study abroad and global opportunities, further emphasize the importance of connecting industry professionals with our students and underscore the importance of ethics and sustainability in our curriculum. The Dean’s Club, the college’s annual giving society, provides crucial academic scholarship and enhances the academic experience for our students.

The center was created in 2006 and named for Hickory-based Transportation Insight in 2011, when a 1,700-square-foot, contemporary space was opened in Peacock Hall. Accelerator space, mentoring programs, and special events are offered to students of all majors. The staff coaches students in forming and operating their own businesses. 7 | Appalachian student entrepreneurs earned two of the top three spots at Wake Forest University’s latest Retail & Health Innovation Challenge, claiming $15,000 in prize money. The event, which serves as a national forum for Artist Rendering for Demonstration Purposes students to present business plans with an aim to energize retail and contribute to the health and well being of consumers, hosted sixteen teams, which were selected as semi-finalists to present their ideas. Three of those teams were from Appalachian, and were representative of the crossdisciplinary collaboration occurring on campus, often with support from the Transportation Insight Center for Entrepreneurship. Center staff also advised Jason Capps, left, Bailey Williams and Mary Oshana, who won $15,000 at last year’s Texas Christian University Values and Ventures Business Plan Competition. They took top honors for their business plan to manufacture and distribute a therapeutic glove designed by Williams to improve dexterity and grip in children and adults. The center hosts an annual Carole Moore McLeod Entrepreneur Summit each fall, which provides an opportunity for students and community members to meet, network and learn from successful entrepreneurs. Business owners from across the region present and discuss entrepreneurial issues in a classroom setting. As part of the day’s events, selected student business ideas are pitched to a panel of entrepreneur judges. The 2015 summit is scheduled for Friday, November 6. For more information about the center’s programs and offerings, please contact TICFE Managing Director Erich Schlenker, at (828) 262-8325, [email protected].
