Students spend an estimated 78 million annually, while visitors to campusspend another 25 million.Publication images provided by Buzz Meade, Greg Coley and Cory ThorntonThe campus is home to 9,500 students(47% male, 53% female) and more than 400faculty/academic staff. UW-Stevens Point hasthe highest percentage of undergraduatecourses taught by regular faculty in theUniversity of Wisconsin System, and afavorable student-to-faculty ratio of 22:1.The diverse mixture of local, nontraditionaland international students helpsprovide an enriching educational andlife experience. And the university’scommitment to A Partnership for ThrivingCommunities allows students to gainCentral Wisconsin provides students witha safe environment and high quality oflife.

Our Storyinterested in business, we’d lose them toanother school. We’re not losing thosebattles anymore.”One thing that makes the UW-StevensPoint business program stand out is itsunique academic tracks. Students canchoose to major in business administration,accounting or economics, but within eachmajor lies areas of concentration such asFIRE, which combines finance, insuranceand real estate. The entrepreneur area ofstudy has sometimes paired SBE studentswith students from other departments oncampus who are seeking a business planor to complete their school projects.Another draw to the school is its faculty.“When you ask students what they likebest about UW-Stevens Point they say theprofessors: They’re friendly, they meet withpeople and they’re interested in students’progress. We’re very proud of that,” Mullinssays. So much so he used it to help shapethe school’s slogan: ‘It’s not just business, it’spersonal.’ As important as the academicexperience is to a student’s growth,School of Business and Economics facultyencourage out-of-class experiences, andhave implemented a peer advising programto help incoming students make a healthytransition.School of Business andEconomics Chair Gary Mullinsand College of ProfessionalStudies Dean Marty Loy areexcited about where thefuture will lead for SBEstudents and faculty.POINT OF INTEREST:Almost 90 percent of SBE’s graduates begintheir careers in the state of Wisconsin. Morethan 50 percent stay in Central Wisconsin.would be best served by taking stepsin advance to meet key requirements.So the school took a fresh approach tocurriculum and the hiring process. It alsomoved to the College of ProfessionalStudies, where it has flourished this pastdecade. A few years ago SBE facultyformally began the process of gainingaccreditation.“A friend of mine who teaches theentrepreneur class says that being anentrepreneur is like being a farmer: You doa whole bunch of work in the beginning,then you hope it grows so you can reap thebenefits,” says Mullins. “Those early years wereour plowing-the-field period,” says Mullins.The UW-Stevens Point School of Businessand Economics (SBE) has made greatleaps in recent years. It still offers the sameeducational foundation many of its proudalumni reflect back on, but the school hasgrown and evolved.Since 2008, increased demand and newcourse offerings have resulted in a 30percent increase in student credit hours.And the number of majors has increasedby roughly 60 percent during that period.4School of Business and EconomicsThat growth has created a great deal ofexcitement and opened doors to newpossibilities — notably accreditation.The road to where the school is nowlinks back to the late 1990s, when facultymembers began exploring the possibilityof accreditation. The school’s chair at thetime, Randy Cray, and forward-lookingfaculty like current chair Gary Mullins andC.R. Marshall decided that if the schoolshould ever consider accreditation, it“It’s taken us four or five years of seriouswork toward the accreditation process. If wehadn’t made those decisions back in thelate ’90s it would have taken 15 years.”Today the school has a growing crop. It’sregarded as one of UW-Stevens Point’smost distinguished departments, able toboast strong relationships across campusand within the Central Wisconsin businesscommunity. The school has even been adraw for UW-Stevens Point’s proud athleticsprograms. Men’s basketball coach BobSemling told Mullins, ‘I ought to buyyou lunch. It used to be if a recruit wasAnd community leaders agree the Schoolof Business and Economics has become atrusted ally. The school conducts economicresearch, provides a forum where businessleaders can identify and solve commonproblems, and churns out future CentralWisconsin business leaders. For thesereasons, Chancellor Bernie Pattersonconsiders the school to be a good modelfor UW-Stevens Point’s A Partnership forThriving Communities, which relies on fourcore values to strengthen partnerships withlocal stakeholders and help to addresslocal needs. “The business school is thecrown jewel in our economic developmentefforts,” he says, “and the school can havea direct or indirect connection to all fourareas of Thriving Communities (vibrant,healthy, prosperous and sustainable).”The completion of the accreditationprocess and the continued developmentof academic programs will help theSchool of Business and Economicsrealize new opportunities in comingyears. But the fundamental principlesthat tie the school’s past to its present— the relationship between faculty andstudents, the out-of-class opportunities,and ‘personal’ touch to the academicexperience — will remain the foundationon which future growth will be built.“The business school is thecrown jewel in our economicdevelopment efforts.”– UW-Stevens Point ChancellorBernie PattersonUniversity of Wisconsin-Stevens Point 5

InvolvementPartnersBusiness Advisory CouncilPOINT OF INTEREST:The idea for SBE Events came from amarket research course in which studentswere tasked with solving low attendancenumbers for resume workshops and otherSBE programs. The students designed thecredit-based program and launched thefirst few events. Recalls Mullins, “The firstevent attracted 60 people. Students weresitting in the aisles.”Wayne Kostroski, founderand executive director ofTaste of the NFLOn occasions, the program has helpedthe school provide its students with rareand unique opportunities. A few years agothe school received a call from StevensPoint native Wayne Kostroski, founder andexecutive director of Taste of the NFL, whichrallies the country’s top chefs and the NFL’sgreatest players to raise money in supportof food banks throughout the United States.Kostroski had expressed an interest in visitingwith business students and the school wasable to shape an SBE event around his visitto Central Wisconsin.The School of Business and Economicsalso encourages involvement in its studentorganizations. Not only will participationenhance one’s résumé, but it can open thedoors to new opportunities.Part of preparing students for a career inbusiness is offering real-world opportunities tohelp students network and gain experienceaway from the classroom. It’s something theSchool of Business and Economics (SBE)does well through its collection of studentorganizations and SBE Events.Through SBE Events, students are given theopportunity to participate in a series ofspeakers, discussions, workshops and fieldtrips. Students are able to collect credits forattending events, and most agree it openstheir eyes to what awaits them after college.6School of Business and Economics“SBE Events have allowed me to networkwith business professionals and perfectmy interviewing skills, both of which havehelped me land a career after graduation,”says Savanah Simmers, a businessadministration-marketing student.The school also provides regular networkingevents that match students in front ofa collection of prospective employersrepresenting their chosen area of study.“It’s kindof like speed dating,” laughs SBE Chair GaryMullins, who notes many of these events havehelped earn students internships and jobs. Sigma Alpha Pi provides students withleadership training, considered bymany employees to be one of the mostdesirable qualities when consideringpotential job applicants. The club hashelped 92 percent of its members land ajob of their choice upon graduation. The Society for Human ResourceManagement (SHRM) caters to studentslooking to hone their business skills andengage in more networking opportunities. The Economics and Finance Clubs allowfor student and faculty collaboration, andprovide students with insight into careeropportunities in these chosen areas of study.College of Professional Studies Dean Marty Loy, Jim McIntyre(Greenheck Fan Corp), Stella Lin (Evolve International),Erik Carlson (Ellis Stone Construction Co.), Ted Schlafke(BMO Financial Group), Brian Seramur (Landmark PropertyManagement LLC), Jeff Peterson (CliftonLarsonAllen), RickRettler (Rettler Corporation), Jim Krueger (Figi’s Inc.), Cliff King(Skyward, Inc.), Tim Lau (Associated Banc-Corp), School ofBusiness and Economics Chair Gary Mullins, Wayne Ashenberg(Fairfax Financial Holdings, retired).

They feed ideas, providewisdom and fuel competitive spirit. Many ofthe School of Business and Economics’ finestpartners do all of these things through theBusiness Advisory Council (BAC).The BAC was established in 2010 to providearea business leaders with insight into howthe school operates, and provide SBE facultywith a valued resource when shapingcurriculum and strategic planning.“Often what they do is sharpen ourdirection,” says School of Business andEconomics Chair Gary Mullins. “Forexample, we’ve always offered the businesscommunication class as an elective. At oneof the meetings BAC members suggestedit needs to be a required course for everystudent. We changed the curriculum, andwe are in the process of adding writtenand oral business communication classes.They’re involvement helps keep us relevant.”The BAC also gives area business leadersan opportunity to learn from each other.The council meets quarterly, often at onecompany’s headquarters. “It gives mean opportunity to see how that businessmanages its day-to-day operations,” saysSkyward CEO Cliff King. “And our meetingsallow me to exchange ideas with the otherBAC members on pertinent issues going onright now.”Corporate Partners ProjectThrough the Corporate Partners Project,the School of Business and Economicsworks with Central and Northern Wisconsinbusinesses to help connect students withemployment opportunities and ensuretalented, qualified job candidates staywithin the region.SBE Corporate Partners include:Ameriprise Home & Auto Insurance( Green Bay), Skyward, Inc.

ResearchGary MullinsAfter finishing his master’s degree at theUniversity of Chicago, Gary Mullins decidedhe’d had enough of academia. His motherhad been a school teacher, his father thepresident at the University of Arkansas — Garywas ready for anything not set in a classroom.Centergy Executive Director PeggySullivan considers SBE a valuedpartner in her organization’s missionto advance Central Wisconsineconomic initiatives.POINT OF INTEREST:Since its start in 1983, the Central WisconsinEconomic Research Bureau (CWERB)has released more than 200 hard copypublications.Randy Cray has presentedresearch as CWERB’s chiefeconomist since 1986.economic development efforts,” says MichaelOstrowski, director of Community Developmentand Redevelopment Authority for the city ofStevens Point. “The information contained inthese reports assists in helping set communitydevelopment policies to make sure our cityand region remain economically viable.”Professor Randy Cray has helped to steerCWERB since 1986 as the school’s chiefeconomist. He and fellow economicsprofessor Scott Wallace select report topicsbased on economic trends and the interestsof community business leaders.Through various research and outreachefforts the School of Business andEconomics has also made a significantand lasting impact on how area businessleaders invest and focus their resources.For more than three decades the CentralWisconsin Economic Research Bureau(CWERB) has provided insight into local,state, national and global economictrends, with a focus on Marathon, Portageand Wood counties. CWERB is a nonprofitorganization managed by the Schoolof Business and Economics and made8School of Business and Economicspossible by contributions from localbusinesses and other institutions.Quarterly economic indicator reports covera specific economic topic such as tourism,job volatility and health care. Reports arepresented in Marshfield, Stevens Point andWausau bi-annually and attract morethan 100 attendees on average — a guestlist which includes civic leaders, businessrepresentatives and local media.“The economic indicator reports providein-depth local data that is critical to localSBE is also a strategic partner with regionaleconomic development groups likeWausau-based Centergy, a nonprofitcomprised of leaders in business, education,government and workforce developmentas well as local economic development/chamber organizations. The school assistsCentergy by providing resources to supportinitiatives, and data mining to analyze thegroup’s competitiveness and assist in thedevelopment of strategies and initiatives.Centergy Executive Director Peggy Sullivanapplauds SBE’s commitment to regionaleconomic development. “Academia haslong been noted for functioning in a silo.The UW-Stevens Point School of Business andEconomics recognizes the importance ofconnecting with businesses and respondingto their needs.But he couldn’t escape it. During his time withExxon and later Anheuser-Busch, where heassisted with planning and technical systems,everywhere he went people called him ‘theprofessor.’ “There’s an old joke that if everyonesays you look sick you should lie down, soI decided to get my Ph.D.,” he laughs. “Ofcourse, when I got into academics everyonesaid, ‘What’s this business guy doing here?’”Gary exemplifies what he has helpedto build within the School of Businessand Economics — a faculty with strongacademic credentials complementedby real-world experience. “Having thatcombination is very important, especially forundergraduates. Part of our responsibility isto teach them professionalism.”In recent years, a large part of Gary’sresponsibility has been to help guidethe School of Business and Economicsinto a new era, highlighted by growth,accreditation and stronger ties to thelocal business community. He admits it’s allexciting. Once ready to escape academia,now Gary is ready for the next chapter.Associate Dean, College of Professional StudiesChair, School of Business and EconomicsProfessor, Business and EconomicsPh.D., Economics in Finance andPolitical Economy, Washington UniversityM.B.A., Finance and Economics,University of ChicagoB.S.B.A., Management Science,University of Arkansas

Continuing EdC.R. MarshallComposite Envisions(compositeenvisions.com) hasgrown rapidly and today distributescarbon fiber, fiberglass, kevlar andepoxy materials around the globe.POINT OF INTEREST:Business is one of three areas of study inwhich students can earn a bachelor’s degreeon the UW-Marathon County campus. Theothers are engineering and American studies.To learn more aboutopportunities at UW-MarathonCounty, visit the school’swebsite at http://uwmc.uwc.Cory Thorson admits the first time he gavecollege a try he wasn’t ready. The Wausaunative took classes on the UW-Stevens Pointcampus but struggled to adjust and soonbecame distracted; one of his biggestdistractions was a thriving business he’dstarted in high school.After using composite materials to detailthe interior of his car, he sold the leftovermaterial to friends and classmates wantingto do the same. Requests continued topour in. By 2008, at the age of 21, Cory hadturned Composite Envisions into a legitimatebusiness. But he still felt compelled to get acollege education, not just to complementhis growing business, but to provide somelongterm stability.Limited by the demands of his workschedule, Cory enrolled in UW-StevensPoint business courses offered throughUW-Marathon County, located just a fewblocks from his front door. “Losing an hourof driving time each day going to StevensPoint was tough,” he says. “It helped havingclasses close to home, and I was able togroup most of my classes together to fit myschedule.”10School of Business and EconomicsC.R. Marshall isn’t your average universityprofessor. He didn’t begin his graduatedegree work until he was into his 40s,and as often as he can, he escapes toplay guitar with friend John Greenwood,who works with the Wisconsin Centerfor Public Policy at the University ofWisconsin-Marathon County. The twoplay a little Duke Ellington, some MilesDavis, even jazz interpretationsof a couple Beatles tunes.“We were initially named byhis daughter as Grown MenGoofing Off - GMGO,” helaughs. “I decided to classit up a bit and call it theGreenwood-Marshall GarageOrchestra.”C.R. takes great enjoyment from it, andfrom teaching at UW-Stevens Point, wherehe has spent the past 15 years. Prior tothat he had managed a chain of retailstores and worked for a Fortune 500company. “Like many of the faculty wehire, I bring some real-world experienceto the classroom.”Through his time working for theSchool of Business and Economics hehas witnessed much change; what hesees in the coming years excites him.But more than anything, he remainsexcited by the opportunity to make adifference. “The university is still 50 percentfirst-generation college students, andparticularly for these students, theireducation will change their lives.”C.R. admits he left behind a career manywould be happy to have, but he hasBy then an entrepreneur in his own right,Cory appreciated the real world perspectivethe visiting UW-Stevens Point faculty bringto the classroom. “Professor Dave Schalowtalked about experiences I could relate to,”he says. “As much as anything, that practicalknowledge was a plus in the classroom.”traditional students,” says Lori Brandt, anacademic adviser to business students atUW-Marathon County. “They are peoplewho often hold responsible, professionalpositions in area businesses . people likeCory. They just need the degree to keepprogressing in their field.”UW-Marathon County offers an assortmentof classes, such as introductory courses forbusiness and accounting courses coveringbusiness ethics and personal finance.“Many of the students in this programcome from a different background thanOther UW-Marathon County studentsgain experience through Wausau-areainternships, and many are offered positionsbefore they graduate. “I think that alonespeaks volumes about the credibility of thisprogram,” Brandt says.Professor, BusinessPh.D., Organizational Behavior, Washington University in St. LouisM.B.A., Statistics and Business Economics, University of ChicagoB.B.A., Accounting, University of Iowa715-346-4576 cmarshal@uwsp.eduUniversity of Wisconsin-Stevens Point 11

AdvisingRuixue DuMost view accounting as a complexform of math — numbers on a page —but School of Business and EconomicsAssistant Professor Ruixue Du presentsit another way: “It’s more like grammarthan math. It’s a language,” she says.“It’s how you communicate. The rules foraccounting change every year. What Ihope my students remember is how toapply the language of accounting tothose changing rules.”A team of SBE’s brightest studentsare assembled each year to helppre-majors through the school’speer advising program.POINT OF INTEREST:School of Business and Economics studentsare usually accepted sometime during theirsophomore or junior year. To gain entrance,students must complete 10 credits within themajor and meet GPA requirements.The School of Business and Economics(SBE) boasts a unique peer advisingprogram that helps set a standard forexcellence, pairing students new to SBE withsomeone who understands the questionsand challenges they face.A team of seven or eight peer advisersworks with pre-majors awaitingacceptance into the school. Peer adviserssatisfy many of the same functions facultyadvisers do, providing advice on such12School of Business and EconomicsJenny Resch, School of Businessand Economics director ofoutreach and student affairs,believes strong peer andfaculty advising is critical inpreparing students for a careerafter graduation, especially theschool’s many first-generationcollege students.things as course load and general degreerequirements.“We have a lot of first-generation collegestudents and they don’t all have someoneto lean on or guide them through thosethings,” says SBE Director of Outreach andStudent Affairs Jenny Resch. “The peeradviser becomes that person.”“I like to call them student ambassadorsbecause they take advantage of everyopportunity they get,” Resch says. “Whena student asks about going abroad, forexample, a peer adviser is someone whohas probably experienced that program.They lead by example.”Each semester, Resch hires two or three newadvisers to fill openings. It’s a competitiveprocess, and by design the school’sbrightest and most experienced studentsare chosen to serve as a model for theyounger students entering the program.Jennifer O’Rourke joined the peer advisingteam as a junior, and became the peeradviser manager as a senior. “Being apeer adviser has helped me build mycommunication skills through one-on-onecommunication with students, and buildcloser working relationships with professors,”she says. “It’s also helped me with timemanagement and organizational skills.”Once accepted into the School of Businessand Economics, a student is matched witha faculty adviser who offers them guidancefor course selection, possible internshipopportunities and insight into what thestudent can expect after graduation. Theformal relationship with the peer adviserstops, but Resch says students continue touse the peer advising office as a resource.Du is conscious of what students takefrom her class, and how it impacts theirlives when they leave UW-Stevens Point.As an undergraduate attending NankaiUniversity in China, Du was inspired by avisiting Virginia Tech business professor.“He became a great mentor to me. He’swhy I decided to come to this countryand why I chose to attend Virginia Tech.”The professor has since passed, butDu notes his former doctorate students— many of whom are now universitydepartment heads or deans — functionlike a big family. “It’s what I hope to buildand grow with my students.”After earning her doctorate from VirginiaTech in 2013 Du went looking for anopening at a cold-weather school— something similar to the northernregion of China where she grew up.“When I first got here, everyone keptapologizing for the weather,” she laughs.“And last winter, of course, was the worstwinter here ever. But it didn’t bother me; Ilove winter and the cold weather.”Still new to the area, Du plans to take upskiing again and learn how to ice fish. “Ijust think it’s cool that people sit on theice and wait for the fish to come by.”Assistant Professor, AccountingPh.D., Hospitality and TourismManagement, Virginia TechM.S., Accounting and InformationSystem, Virginia TechB.S., Finance, Nankai University715-346-4950 rdu@uwsp.edu

Alumnimade a commitment to provide employmentopportunities for college students looking togain experience. Skyward’s busiest time of yearis the summer, when most students are freefrom school and looking for work. King’s happywith the results. “From our perspective, it givesus an opportunity to identify great candidatesfor full-time positions once they get done withschool.”CEO Cliff King ’83 wasasked recently to offer thecommencement speechat UW-Stevens Point.King also serves on the School of Businessand Economics Business Advisory Counciland has long been one of UW-StevensPoint’s strongest supporters.“I went to the university, my wife graduatedfrom the university, my daughter and myson graduated from the university .

The one common link thatbonds them is their pride in being a productof the school.BMO Harris Branch Manager Lincoln Bergfeels the same about his educationalexperience. “I know a lot of students, myselfincluded, always think “when will I use that?”while attending college. It didn’t take melong in my career to realize that every day Iapply what I learned from the SBE.”Packing BMO Harris with Pointers:Ted Schlafke and Lincoln BergThe bank they represent has a longpartnership with the School of Businessand Economics — one they plan tomaintain. Says Berg, “Whether it’s sponsoringSBE events or volunteering our time, weknow that it’s helping SBE develop thecommunity’s future leaders.”Visit the BMO Harris branch in downtownStevens Point and you’re certain to runinto a Pointer. The bank is stocked withformer School of Business and Economicsgraduates and interns. Bank President TedSchlafke is one. Schlafke’s adviser, ProfessorLarry Weiser, helped him find focus and stayon track. “I have practiced that for morethan 30 years now,” he says. “Take an activerole and interest in the success of thosearound you, keep them on track, supportthem, and keep them moving forward.”Recently, Schlafke was able to tour therenovated College of Professional StudiesBuilding and get a first-hand look at how theschool he attended has evolved. “It’s not thesame place I attended in the late ’70s. Labs,work stations, café all really exciting things.The SBE team’s forward-thinking mindsetimpresses me.”He is the Homer J. Livingston Professor ofEconomics at the University of Chicago. Hislatest work, The Why Axis, a book co-authoredwith Uri Gneezy, has received widespreadpraise from the economics community. Itcovers much of List’s work thus far — work thatdates back to his time at UW-Stevens Point.A Pointer through and through: Cliff KingCliff King did not take the usual path tobusiness success. Skyward, Inc.’s CEO joinedthe United States Air Force out of highschool, and by the time he began collegehe was juggling a full-time job and startinga family in 1981. While still in school, Kingjoined Skyward and began programmingand installing software for school districts.Today, Skyward makes software that morethan 1,700 school districts rely on to trackstudent attendance, classroom performanceand a host of other things. The company’snew 184,000-square feet headquarters inStevens Point will bring more than 500 newjobs to the area — many of them highpaying jobs that will help employees providea decent living for their families.
