LEANING IN ON LEADERSHIP

Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg’s book “Lean In” raised the level of conversation about women and leadership in the workplace. Recent research from Warrington professors Klodiana Lanaj and David Ross has examined the strides, or lack thereof, that women are making in today’s business environment. Their findings show that women are making progress, but more must be done to level the playing field.

RESEARCH FOCUS Management communication, innovation, cognition and writing E D U C AT I O N Ph.D. in English, New York University, 1992 M.A. in Cinema and Literary Theory, University of Michigan, 1983 B.A. in English, University of Michigan, 1982 N O TA B L E Douglas recently published a book, “The Reader’s Brain: How Neuroscience can Make You a Better Writer.” It uses decades of insights into the reading brain to provide writers with clear-cut, sciencebased guidelines on how to write anything well

CAREFUL WHAT YOU READ! Educators have studied the processes of reading and writing, and the development of skills in each area, but never how one influences the other. In a groundbreaking study in the May issue of the International Journal of Business Administration, Warrington professor Yellowlees Douglas and graduate student Samantha Miller discovered strong correlations between the complexity of graduate students’ reading and their writing. “You’d think someone would have studied these effects in adults long ago,” Douglas said, “but we were astonished to discover no one had.”

YELLOWLEES DOUGLAS Associate Professor, Management Communication S T U D Y/ J O U R N A L : “Syntactic Complexity of Reading Content Directly Impacts Complexity of Mature Students’ Writing”/International Journal of Business Administration M A J O R F I N D I N G : Students who read exclusively online content like BuzzFeed, Tumblr, or the Huffington Post had the lowest scores in robust measures of writing complexity, including lengths of sentences and sophistication of their word choice. Students who read academic journal articles or critically acclaimed fiction had the highest scores. D E T A I L S : The study used tools that measure syntactic complexity and the Lex-

S T U D Y/J O U R N A L : “Leadership Over-Emergence in Self-Managing Teams: The Role of Gender and Countervailing Biases”/Academy of Management Journal M A J O R F I N D I N G : When women engage in “agentic” or assertive behaviors in a team atmosphere, they are credited more for their leadership than men who carry out similar actions. D E T A I L S : The study followed 181 MBA students during the first year of their program. Students were divided into five-person teams—with at least one female student on each team—and completed three surveys before the teams were assembled, six weeks after teams were formed, and four months after second survey to rate each member’s leadership abilities. The study’s findings seem to support the assertion of Sandberg, who wrote in “Lean In,” that women “hold ourselves back in ways both big and small by lacking self-confidence, by not raising our hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in.” T A K E A W AY S : “Given the considerable research that finds women are penalized more than men for asserting themselves, it seems fairly clear that we are disadvantaged in that way, particularly when self-assertion is on behalf of our individual self-interest. What our study adds to the mix is the insight that, when women’s assertive or take-charge initiatives are in the service of a team, they are not only accepted but make a greater impression than similar endeavors by men.”—Klodiana Lanaj

A PRISONER’S DILEMMA?

T A K E A W AY S : Douglas recommends students to read publications like The Economist, The Wall Street Journal or The New Yorker for well-written news articles.

S T U D Y/J O U R N A L : “Is there an implicit quota on women in top management? A large-sample statistical analysis”/Strategic Management Journal M A J O R F I N D I N G : Female executives may be battling an “implicit quota” where, for many of the world’s top companies, one woman in a major leadership role is enough. Ross and his fellow researchers found that “the probability that a woman occupies a top management team position is 51 percent lower if another woman holds a position on the same team.” D E T A I L S : The researchers analyzed data from Standard & Poor’s ExecuComp index and CompuStat database, and the Center for Research in Securities Prices, and examined the top-five, highest-paid executives at S&P’s 1,500 companies over a 20-year stretch (1991 to 2011). Their approach was to use the data to predict the probability that each top management position in these firms was occupied by a woman at a given point in time. They used the probabilities to simulate what women’s participation in top management would look like assuming that a woman’s presence on a top management team was independent of whether a woman was present elsewhere on the same team. They then compared these simulations with the actual distribution of women across companies. T A K E A W AY S : Women in top management may not be able to pave the way for other women at their firms, and that companies that are serious about increasing female representation in the C-suite should not relent once some initial progress is achieved.

Providers like AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and Comcast are allowing consumers to stream movies, television shows and other digital content for free through special promotions. But is this “generosity” setting the stage for a battle among content providers? Shubho Bandyopadhyay and Liangfei Qiu, along with doctoral student Soohyun Cho, have developed a game theory model where major content providers may be forced into a bidding war—which could lead to a monopolistic digital content landscape and test the limits of net neutrality.

Imagine two scenarios—a bicycle you purchased for yourself and a bicycle you received from a loved one. Under which of these two scenarios would the bicycle be more meaningful to you? Warrington marketing professor Yang Yang, along with Carnegie Mellon University’s Jeff Galak, explored this question in her newest research exploring sentimental value, providing gift-givers some reassurance that their generosity is impactful.

Assistant Professor, Marketing S T U D Y/J O U R N A L : “Sentimental Value and Its Influence on Hedonic Adaptation”/Journal of Personality and Social Psychology M A J O R F I N D I N G : First, the usefulness of an object may decrease over time, but that object’s sentimental value does not. Second, objects that have sentimental value are less likely to exhibit “hedonic adaptation,” or a decrease in happiness or enjoyment in using that object.

over time with products that had high versus low sentimental value. T A K E A W AY S : There is something special about sentimental value. Said Yang: “We provide another, easily actionable way in which people can remain happy with the things that they have: Invest in sentimental experiences that imbue objects with sentimental value. Because the benefit from sentimental value seems to seldom fade, doing so may be a way to stave off the detrimental consequences of hedonic adaptation.”

ARE CORPORATE INVERSIONS WORTH IT? In April 2016, the U.S. Treasury Department issued guidelines aimed at curbing the practice of corporate inversions—where American companies shift their “tax mailboxes” overseas to pay a lower tax rate. While inversions yield a sizable and long-term tax benefit, this method rarely leads to long-term financial success, according to new research from Luke Watson, a professor in the Fisher School of Accounting.

sizes and industries. While this study focuses on single-company inversions, Watson believes the effects would be similar for merger inversions.

S T U D Y/J O U R N A L : “Should Online Content Providers be Allowed to Subsidize Content?—An Economic Analysis”/Working Paper

these hypothetical cases is switching costs –the cost incurred by consumers to switch content providers. If the switching costs are low, the ISP will allow content providers to engage in data subsidization. If the switching costs are high, making it difficult for consumers to switch content providers, data subsidization would not lead to significantly higher revenues for the ISPs.

M A J O R F I N D I N G : The researchers found that inverted companies reduced their effective tax rates by approximately 12 percentage points compared to non-inverted companies, and the benefit from that tax reduction continues for at least a decade. However, because of associated costs with inversions that Watson said still aren’t clear, the long-term performance of inverted firms decreased relative to their competitors.

T A K E A W AY S : “I think this has big implications, particularly this finding that there’s not a huge benefit in U.S. tax savings on foreign earnings. That’s widely touted as the primary benefit of inversion, but we think that maybe cheap talk aimed at deflecting the real benefit which is earnings stripping. So I think policy makers could be influenced by that—that earnings stripping and the U.S. corporate tax rate should be the focus of tax reform.

T A K E A W AY S : Under certain market conditions, the more powerful content provider will drive the other out of the market, and leave fewer options for consumers in the long run. With one dominant content provider controlling the market, it would make it virtually impossible for new entrants to gain a foothold.

D E T A I L S : Watson, along with professors Stephen Lusch (University of Kansas) and Jim Seida (Notre Dame University), compared the tax savings and company performance of 10 firms that engaged in single-company inversions between 1994 and 2002 to 34 similar, non-inverted firms based on the companies’ similar

“And, for firms, this is sort of a cautionary tale. You can invert and achieve these great tax savings, but if that’s your plan, are you focusing on the right thing? Maybe these firms took their eye off the ball a little bit, and instead of making strategic decisions, they made only financial decisions.”—Luke Watson

M A J O R F I N D I N G : The Internet service provider’s profit is always maximized when the content providers are subsidizing data usage fees. Under certain market conditions, they find that both content providers would be engaged in data subsidization, when in reality neither of them would prefer to do so. D E T A I L S : The researchers’ game theory model analyzes the results of the four potential cases involving an ISP and two content providers. A major factor in

A YEAR TO REMEMBER The 2015-16 academic year was an eventful one for accounting professor Dr. Marcus Kirk. He was promoted to associate professor, and was named to Poets & Quants’ 2016 “Most Outstanding 40-Under-40 Business School Professors” list. Learn more about Dr. Kirk, the impact his promotion may have on his research, what the honor from Poets & Quants meant to him, and why the Fisher School of Accounting is so special. What does it mean to you to receive your promotion to Associate Professor with Tenure? The promotion means happiness that my colleagues are willing to put up with me longer and relief from uncontrollable timing-related issues. On the research side, you have control over inputs in terms of selecting topics and working hard, but less control over outputs in terms of when a research paper may fully come to fruition as a publication. The time between potential promotions is too long and the publication process timing too uncertain to not have fun along the way in the things you can control. Describe the environment at the Fisher School. What is it about Fisher that makes it special? In line with UF’s Top 10 initiative, there are resources that must be committed to be a Top-10 department, business school, or university. These are a necessary, but not sufficient condition. What is much more fragile and rare is a true fun and collegial environment. These intangibles help set the Fisher School apart. As part of the faculty recruiting committee, I see how our sincerely enjoyable environment is immediately apparent and has helped us recruit excellent faculty. What’s been your favorite memory thus far at the Fisher School? My favorite memories all rotate around Fisher’s environment. To name only a few…baby showers among the faculty and staff, yearly “Festivus,” senior faculty inviting us into their homes for dinners and parties, running (or more accurately, slowly staggering through) the Tough Mudder with the other Assistant Professors, the wonderful effort the Fisher Student Council does in reaching out and organizing faculty/student softball games (despite the yearly beating the students take!), and, how fulfilling it is to see my students’ hard work and efforts finally pay off.

THE CONVERGENCE OF BIG DATA AND THE SOCIAL NETWORK So how much data is needed for it to be considered “Big Data?” Are 22 million rows of data on your computer screen enough? That’s the unfathomable amount of information Warrington Ph.D. student Mohammadmahdi (Mahdi) Moqri has managed this past year analyzing the world’s most popular open source software community. Moqri has examined the comments made by programmers in GitHub, the world’s most popular open source software community. In total, Moqri has accounted for the comments of four million developers over the past seven years resulting in 6 terabytes of data—which equals roughly 2.5 billion singlespaced typewritten pages. He is attempting to learn what, if any, effects social factors have on the amount of contributions. S T U D Y/J O U R N A L : Research ongoing. Moqri presented his initial findings at the Teradata University Network (TUN) Business Analytics Competition in October 2015. M A J O R F I N D I N G : Moqri said the research hasn’t yet proved a direct causality between contributions and new followers, but he said there is certainly a relationship between the two. D E T A I L S : Conducting this research was formidable. Moqri said standard software programs he’s used in the past were not able to support the colossal size of this data. So he used Google’s powerful cloud platform, BigQuery, to organize the data, and UF’s $3.4 million super computer— HiPerGator—to process it. T A K E A W AY S : “By itself, when you

look at the data and the scale of it, this is more or less unprecedented for research involving open source communities,” said Dr. Shubho Bandyopadhyay, Susan Cameron Professor and Moqri’s faculty advisor for this project. “I don’t think we have seen any research that looks at data at this kind of scale.”

Moqr i’s current research involves studying social media effects in onl ine crowdfunding campaigns. He’s collected approximately 3 0 million tweets, and the working paper has been accepted for the 2016 Amer icas Conference on Information Systems Doctoral Consortium .

What research are you currently working on? Why do you think it will be impactful in the academic and professional fields? A couple papers I’m working on with UF colleagues or former Ph.D. students are (1) Earnings Announcement Clustering and Analyst Forecast Behavior, and (2) XBRL Extension Use and Analyst Forecast Properties. The first examines how an analyst reacts to a firm’s earnings announcement when at least one other firm in the analyst’s coverage portfolio is also announcing earnings on the same day. This has the potential to more directly test theories of limited attention in the capital market through a detailed look at how “busy” analysts process information, and what tradeoffs occur when they face a capacity constraint. The second examines how the potential benefits of a regulation (in this setting XBRL) vary when the subjects of that regulation are able to exercise discretion over compliance decisions (i.e. allowing managers financial reporting discretion). The SEC and practitioners have both recently expressed concerns over the use of reporting discretion related to this regulation. Our paper introduces new evidence to this debate. What did the recognition of being named one of the world’s best under-4 0 business school professors mean to you? What’s been the reaction from your colleagues, students? It’s quite a shocking and humbling honor. It came out while I was teaching and I had students both past and present frequently compliment me and express their pride in seeing UF represented. My favorite thing about it was to be joined on the list with my friend and former Emory Ph.D. student office-mate Willie Choi (now an accounting professor at Pittsburgh). Although, to quote Willie…”any list that includes Marcus and I should be viewed with great suspicion!”

CAN WORKPLACE RUDENESS BE CONTAGIOUS? Unpleasant workplace interactions may seem like isolated incidents, but their impacts are far-reaching—even on those not directly involved in those interactions. Ph.D. students Trevor Foulk and Andrew Woolum, along with Huber Hurst Professor Dr. Amir Erez, found that encountering rude behavior at work makes people more likely to perceive rudeness in later interactions. That perception makes them more likely to be impolite in return, spreading rudeness like a virus. The study was featured by CNN, the Huffington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Time, and The Wall Street Journal among many other media organizations. S T U D Y/J O U R N A L : Catching Rudeness Is Like Catching a Cold: The Contagion Effects of LowIntensity Negative Behaviors/Journal of Applied Psychology M A J O R F I N D I N G : The researchers compare rudeness to the common cold, and say “negative behaviors can be easily caught, even after just a single exposure.” Foulk, Woolum and Erez find evidence of this both in participants’ firsthand exposure to rudeness and those who observe it. D E T A I L S : Among the studies the researchers performed, they tracked 90 graduate students practicing negotiation with classmates. Those who rated their initial negotiation partner as rude were more likely to be rated as rude by a subsequent partner, showing that they passed along the first partner’s rudeness. Just like those who experience rudeness firsthand, people who

witness it were more likely to be rude to others. When study participants watched a video of a rude workplace interaction, then answered a fictitious customer email that was neutral in tone, they were more likely to be hostile in their responses than those who viewed a polite interaction before responding. T A K E A W AY S : “Part of the problem is that we are generally tolerant of these behaviors, but they’re actually really harmful. Rudeness has an incredibly powerful negative effect on the workplace.” —Trevor Foulk

INAUGURAL INTERNATIONAL CASE COMPETITION A ROUSING SUCCESS The Heavener International Case Competition crowned its first-ever champion as Queensland University of Technology (Australia) won the inaugural event. QUT advanced through a competitive 20-team field, including an impressive group in the final round, to claim the title. The final round had four teams representing three continents. Joining QUT in the finals were the University of Alberta (Canada), which finished second; Concordia University (Canada), which placed third; and Singapore Management University, which finished fourth. The competition was a successful culmination for the Heavener School, which had wanted to host an international case competition for years. Heavener teams had traveled all over the globe performing exceptionally

well in these events—including three wins and a secondplace finish in 2014–15—and wanted to return the favor to their international peers by holding an event of its own. The addition of Heavener Hall, the College’s new, stateof-the-art, undergraduate building in 2014, was the final piece the school needed to host such an event. The majority of Heavener students with experience in international case competitions served on the event’s student committee. Therefore, Heavener’s team was composed of four rookies—Kate Benesch, Barrie Eisenberg, Kristin Fanto and Johanna Lugo.

GLOBAL IMMERSIONS Globalization is a bedrock of the Warrington experience, and its benefits are emphasized to all of the College’s students. And we’re thrilled to see our message is being received. More than 700 Warrington students engaged in some form of international study this past academic year, providing life-changing educational and cultural experiences. Here is just a sample of global immersion experiences that connected Warrington students to the world:

GERMANY: In Munich, Hough graduate students visited Siemens and learned about the company’s global digital media strategy; Klenk & Hoursch, a corporate and brand communications firm where they addressed crisis management in the digital era; and BMW, where student experience BMW Welt, a multi-functional customer and exhibition facility.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

GATHERING OF GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURS The College hosted one of the world’s premier entrepreneurship education conferences when it welcomed more than 300 participants for the 2015 Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC) . The GCEC is the premier academic organization addressing the emerging topics of importance to the nation’s university-based centers for entrepreneurship. The GCEC’s current membership totals more than 225 university-based entrepreneurship centers. “The opportunity to bring in 300 individuals from all over the world, to highlight what we do as a program, to show our facilities, that’s a huge deal,”

said Jamie Kraft, Director of Warrington’s Entrepreneurship & Innovation Center. “I think if every school had the resources and manpower to host this conference, they would. It’s a massive undertaking, but it provides tremendous visibility, especially when you feel like you have a program that is doing great things across the academic outreach and extracurricular space.”

Serves more than 2,000 students annually and its outreach efforts include a Veterans Entrepreneurship Program; the Gator100, which celebrates the 100 fastest-growing, Gatorowned or Gator-led businesses; a university-wide business plan competition with $40,000 in venture funding available; annual visits to Haiti and South Africa to assist disenfranchised entrepreneurs; and the Gator Hatchery, a student incubator.

UF OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY Has launched more 175 biomedical and technology startups generating more than $1 billion in private investment since 2001.

The event revealed the amazing impact female entrepreneurs have had in the U.S., and the potential for further growth. It also revealed how much more needs to be done for female entrepreneurs to be given the same opportunities as their male counterparts.

W H AT ’ S WO R K I N G

The Hatchery, located in the Jeff Gold Experiential Learning Laboratory at Warrington’s Entrepreneurship & Innovation Center, is a student incubator offering workspace, office support, mentoring and other resources allowing students—from all UF colleges—to work on their ventures while continuing their studies. More than 20 companies have come through the Hatchery since January 2015 with ventures ranging from wearable technology for swim goggles that measures real-time speed, distance, and vital signs, to an e-commerce portal featuring real-time inventory of local retailers. To be accepted into the Hatchery, teams or individuals must have a business plan, and must be far enough along in the development of the business so that they are either in the market or have made significant progress in building a prototype. “A lot of colleges have incubators,” said Nola Miyasaki, the Center’s Executive Director of Outreach and Incubation, “but to see the level of activity here—outside a major city, where there isn’t a Silicon Valley environment—is really promising. A lot of the value-add comes from our network of UF alumni entrepreneurs, who help advise, mentor and make introductions to their own networks. We’re starting to see some viable companies.” One such company is Knack, a peer-to-peer tutoring mobile app that won the first-place, $25,000 grand prize at UF’s 2016 Big Idea Gator Business Plan Competition. The company has closed $200,000 in venture funding as of August 2016. Another Hatchery product, Dycap Media Solutions, which develops artificial intelligence software that automates cameras for live events, was recently accepted into Tech Wildcatters, one of the nation’s top accelerators. Adding to the Hatchery’s appeal are the new resources Miyasaki has planned for this fall. Members of James Moore & Co., CPAs and Consultants will offer free accounting consultations with students. Hatchery participants have already been receiving complimentary legal advice from attorneys who are UF alumni.

HIGHLIGHTS

A Fan TAX tic FINISH FOR THE FISHER SCHOOL The Fisher School of Accounting finished second out of a 77-team national field in Deloitte’s FanTAXtic Student Tax Case Study Competition. Fisher students Cindy Dosch, Parker Fields, Kenny Mathews, Jessica Vito and Samantha Wiley each earned a $1,000 scholarship, and the team earned a $5,000 institutional award for their impressive performance. The Fisher School was one of nine teams to advance to the national finals after winning their regional event in November. Seventy-seven teams representing 54 U.S. colleges and universities participated in those regional events. The Fisher team was greeted at

RETAIL YOU!

the event by World Cup champion, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and former Gator soccer standout Abby Wambach. She recently joined Team Deloitte, which sponsored 15 U.S. athletes on their journey to the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. St. John Fisher College (N.Y.) won the event, and Brigham Young University placed third. Sponsored by Deloitte and the Deloitte Foundation, Deloitte FanTAXtic is designed to educate and prepare the next generation of tax talent for a career in business and tax. The interactive program includes case simulation, role playing and presentations which provide students with insights and perspectives on challenges facing the profession today, future trends that may impact it tomorrow and the overall changing business tax marketplace. Deloitte Tax professionals participate in the event and offer the students support and guidance throughout the competition.

The University of Florida is one of the nation’s top schools for students choosing retail careers, and the David F. Miller Center for Retailing Education and Research established an innovative new program to continue that success.

The Miller Center created Retail You!, a semester-long program of self-discovery and skill-building that began this past fall, designed to prepare UF students with distinctive personal and careerbuilding insights early in their academic careers, not just during typical senior-year job searches. Retail You! sessions included “core” sessions on topics such as retailing career options, interviewing skills, and hands-on workshops with practicing retail executives (many of them Gator grads!), as well as:

• Researching retail businesses (beyond the corporate website!) • In-depth look at how personal learning preferences and decision-making style shape career choices • The art of influencing – leadership that builds trust, loyalty and passion • Personal interaction with small business entrepreneurs (boots on the ground) • Store visits and field trips to emerging retail concepts

Additionally, participants were assigned either student or alumni mentors for the semester. Feedback from retail companies where students were placed in internships or entry management positions were very positive. Also, the UF students who earned scholarships through the YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund and were selected as National Retail Federation Next Generation Scholars were Retail You! participants!

PUTTING TEAMWORK TO THE TEST Team-based learning is a popular pedagogy in the health sciences field, but few studies have revealed if the innovative teaching method would be effective in business education. Dr. Judith Ainsworth, a lecturer in Management Communications, decided to find out for herself. Dr. Ainsworth, supported by a $2,500 grant from the Team-Based Learning Collaborative—a non-profit organization that encourages Team-Based Learning—implemented the approach into her Professional Writing for Accountants course last summer. She measured student accountability, preparedness, and engagement through the use of surveys, interviews, and other assessment instruments. The results were encouraging:

• 92.5% of students felt accountable not only to themselves, but also to their team. • 95% of students were satisfied with the course. • 88.5% of students had an average individual readiness assurance test score of 7/10 or higher indicating preparedness. • Four of five teams had team readiness assurance test scores above 90% indicating engagement.

WARRINGTON COLLEGE OF BUSINESS  |  2016 DEAN'S REPORT

Team-Based Learning is rooted in three major principles—Preparation (students complete readings before class), Reader Assessment Tests (students are tested individually and in teams on those readings), and In-Class Exercises. Instead of devoting class time to lectures about core concepts, Team-Based Learning empowers groups of students to put those concepts to work in problem-solving exercises. Team-Based Learning first came to prominence in the late 1970s with Dr. Larry Michaelsen, then a management professor at the University of Oklahoma. One of Michaelsen’s classes had tripled in size (40 to 120 students), and he questioned whether his case-based Socratic teaching approach—which involves problem-solving discussions among students—would still be effective. Many of today’s Team-Based Learning’s principles are rooted in Michaelsen’s solutions. Dr. Ainsworth said a key to her success with Team-Based Learning has been the support she’s received at UF. Warrington’s Teaching & Learning Center provided her with the resources to implement the approach, and a Team-Based Learning Bootcamp at UF’s College of Medicine reinforced best practices.

ETHICAL INVESTMENT The College’s commitment to ethics in business education has resulted in an active and dynamic initiative that is infusing ethics throughout the Warrington community. From coursework to student organizations to experiential learning opportunities, the College’s ethics initiative has made a positive impact on students, and further reinforced the importance and necessity of ethics in business.

STRENGTH IN LEADERSHIP

BUSINESS ETHICS AMBASSADORS

Director Virginia Maurer and Associate Director Judy Brashear have effectively led the College’s Poe Center for Business Ethics Education and Research since the Center was established in 2004. Under their guidance, the Center has produced innovative research, established instructive fellows programs, and expanded its reach internationally with a South American study tour. Maurer and Brashear both announced their retirements this year, but the Center remains in expert hands as Drs. Brian Ray and Michelle Darnell were appointed Co-Directors. Dr. Ray served as Associate Dean and Director of the Heavener School of Business for the past 17 years, and has established the Heavener School as one of the nation’s top undergraduate public business programs. While Director of the Heavener School, Dr. Ray also served as Lecturer in Leadership and Ethics, and has been recognized numerous times at the College and University levels for his leadership and service. Dr. Darnell has served as a Lecturer since 2010 focusing on ethical leadership and organizational behavior. She’s been pivotal in the Center’s growth, helping establish new student organizations and innovative activities.

This student organization impacted 875 students through their activities. The Ambassadors coordinated an ethic case competition, conducted weekly outreach activities to inform students of timely business ethics issues, and interacted with community organizations on various activities.

ETHICS CASE COMPETITION TEAM The team performed exceptionally well in three competitions recording a firstplace finish in the Southeast Regional Business Ethics Case Competition, second place in the 30-minute/full presentation round of the International Business Ethics Case Competition (IBECC), and third place at the Milgard Invitational Case Competition on Social Responsibility.

A L U M N I C O L L A B O R AT I O N Warrington alumni Alex Smith (BSBA ’81), Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Meritage Capital; Ron Wheeler (BSBA ’87), CEO of the Sembler Company; and Alex Olcese (BSAc ’95, MAcc ’96), President of AllChem Industries worked with Dr. Darnell to create three mini-case studies for her Business Ethics and Corporate Responsibility class. The cases were based on real-life ethical situations these alumni faced in their professional careers. Smith, Wheeler and Olcese visited with Dr. Darnell’s students to discuss the cases, and evaluate the students’ own analyses.

SCHOLARLY SUPPORT The College’s “faculty-first” approach has been ingrained here for decades, thanks to Dean John Kraft’s belief that first-rate scholars are the foundation of Warrington’s stellar reputation. That’s why supporting these thought leaders is a major priority, and the College is grateful dedicated alumni like Tom Frankland (BSBA ’70) share in that commitment. Frankland, the former President and Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Coast Financial Corporation and Chairman and CEO of Atlantic Coast Bank, contributed a major gift to Warrington’s teaching innovation initiative. Frankland’s gift will support the College’s focus on innovation in the delivery of business education—including curriculum design, technology integration, and faculty support. The College’s teaching innovation program is spearheaded by its Teaching & Learning Center. “There aren’t a lot of business schools with centers like ours,” said Dr. Tawnya Means, Director of the Teaching & Learning Center. “We’re starting to see more of them, but they’re not common. That speaks to how much the College cares about teaching.” Dr. Means said funds from this major gift will go toward purchasing and renewing licenses for innovative educational platforms, equipping faculty with updated recording devices to enhance online course delivery, and bringing in experts in education and experiential learning to further promote active learning. Some of the innovative offerings and enhancements the Teaching & Learning Center has instituted are:

• Implemented online education platforms like Yellowdig, Poll Everywhere and TeamMate. • Helped design the College’s Active Learning Studio where students engage in Team-Based Learning. • Conducted in-class reviews of faculty and doctoral students, and suggested ways to infuse technology and other activities into course plans. • Completing a self-powered recording studio where faculty can record impromptu online messages or lectures to leverage current business news or events. • Employs use of a Beam robot allowing guest speakers to engage with students.

NEW CHALLENGE AWAITS INCOMING HEAVENER DIRECTOR After a successful 12-year tenure as Assistant Dean and Director of UF MBA—guiding the program to extraordinary heights—Dr. Alex Sevilla is ready for a new challenge. Dr. Sevilla has been named Associate Dean and Director of the Heavener School of Business, the College’s undergraduate school. He takes over for Dr. Brian Ray, who led the Heavener School for 17 exceptional years. Learn why Dr. Sevilla took on this new challenge, the Heavener School’s emphasis on career readiness, and what he envisions in the Heavener School’s future.

This idea is at the heart of what we're trying to do. How can we inspire as many Heavener students as possible to think about career early on, understand the connection points between their academic experience, leadership development experiences, global experiences, internships and so many other unbelievable opportunities that students here at Heavener have, and how these connect to exceptional career opportunities?

Tell us why you accepted this position. I loved the role I had with the MBA program. Our team was able to do some pretty special things together. But having the opportunity to shift gears in a profound way was a great opportunity. I've taught a leadership course in the Heavener School since 2013, and I've loved being in the classroom with our Heavener students. I’ve been impressed with their appetite for learning, their enthusiastic mindset, and their strong desire to see connection points between class concepts and career application. Having the opportunity to work day-to-day with such incredible students, at such a key developmental time in their lives, is exhilarating to me.

How will your leadership style change, if at all? I don’t anticipate my leadership style will change significantly. My focus will be to build an inclusive strategy with talented people that is laser-focused on a clear mission, delivering metric-driven outcomes to all stakeholders, and maximizing the transformational opportunities for our students. I am surrounded by a really talented team in Heavener. They share many elements of this leadership philosophy, particularly in delivering transformational experiences to our students. This makes collaboration, innovation, and strategic advancement not only possible, but fun. That’s the hallmark of a great team.

What’s on your “To Do” list? For me, the student experience is paramount. We're here to change lives. I’m trying to understand from our team's perspective what makes Heavener students tick, and how can we help them? What's working well, and what can we re-imagine or create that can advance our mission further? Then, as we pivot toward the fall, I’ll do as much interacting as I can with the students. I need to understand how they see Heavener. It's one thing for me as the Associate Dean to have an idea of what I think is necessary, but that needs to be grounded with a deep appreciation for what our students see, feel and experience.

How will you gauge success? There will be specific metrics of course that will be established to define success. But, at the end of the day, how well we prepare students for early career success must be defined. We will also measure success based upon how the reputation of the Heavener School advances, particularly in the eyes of corporate recruiters that seek to hire the best talent in the world. Having said this, it is equally important that we measure success based upon how we have developed our students during their time here, personally and professionally. Have we enabled them to see the world differently? Have we pushed them outside of their comfort zone to broaden their capabilities? Have we inspired them to see themselves differently, to deepen their confidence, poise and belief in what they can accomplish in the future? If designed correctly, all of these success metrics will help us understand how our team can best support our mission—to make Heavener a place of true transformation for the amazing students we are entrusted to serve.

Career readiness is a priority at the College. How does the Heavener School fit into this new initiative? I believe not all jobs are created equal. Sometimes we use a lens when students graduate and say, "Do they have a job or do they not have a job?" I believe that's flawed thinking. I think there's a huge difference between having a job and earning the job, the type of job where a graduate flies off the commencement stage, eager to start their career.

HONORING LEADERSHIP To honor former dean Robert Lanzillotti and current dean John Kraft, alumnus Chip Lane (BSBA ’75) generously provided a $1 million gift to support the construction of Heavener Hall—and its renamed Kraft-Lanzillotti Student Commons. Kraft’s and Lanzillotti’s impact on the College is far-reaching. The College is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, and Kraft and Lanzillotti have served as deans for 53 of those years. Only Walter J. Matherly, the College’s first dean from 1926 to 1954, had a longer tenure as dean than Kraft or Lanzillotti. Kraft’s and Lanzillotti’s commitment to hiring first-rate scholars, implementing innovative programs and building the College’s financial stability has Warrington firmly entrenched as one of the nation’s top public business schools. “They’ve really moved the College of Business to the next level,” Lane said. The student commons is one of Heavener Hall’s most active areas with students studying, collaborating on projects, or just having a relaxing moment during a busy day. Lane hopes that when students enter the commons they take a moment to peruse the plaque detailing Kraft’s and Lanzillotti’s accomplishments, notably Lanzillotti’s military service. “I wish all of our students could see what a great person Dean Lanzillotti is and what he’s done—not for just the business school, but for our country,” Lane said. “And what Dean Kraft has done in his time here has been amazing.”

WARRINGTON COLLEGE OF BUSINESS  |  2016 DEAN'S REPORT

A CAREER OVERHAUL FOR UNDERGRADS The College has experienced incredible success in career placement of its graduate students, notably participants in UF MBA’s Full-Time Program (see sidebar below) , in recent years. Now, Warrington is expanding those services to its undergraduate population in a broad and innovative initiative. The initiative, debuting in Spring 2017, will not only benefit Warrington students, but provide companies an easier path to access the College’s top talent. “We want to put more emphasis on placing our undergraduate business students into jobs and internships,” said Craig Petrus, Director of the Hough Graduate School of Business’ Graduate Business Career Services (GBCS) office, and who has been appointed director of Warrington’s new career initiative. “In the graduate school, we are placement focused. That’s our goal, and what we benchmark ourselves against every year. We want to bring that same focus to our undergraduates.” Career resources for Warrington students have been segmented into each of its three schools. MBA and Specialized Master’s students seek career assistance through the Hough Graduate School of Business’ Graduate Business Career Services office, accounting students utilize channels in the Fisher School of Accounting, and undergraduates rely on the career coaches and peer mentoring services at the Heavener School of Business. While that arrangement has produced impressive results, it can cause confusion for employers about which division to contact. Transitioning to a more centralized system should lessen confusion, said Petrus, and provide a more direct connection between companies and students. “We want to provide companies an awesome experience, and make it as easy as possible when they recruit talent from the Heavener School of Business,” Petrus said. Petrus said his team is currently in a “discovery and analysis” phase where they are conducting internal research and studying peer business schools with centralized career services program. Petrus said he plans on conducting focus groups with students and companies to best learn each group’s needs. “We need their input to build this,” said Petrus, “and we’re going to take our time to make sure we build it right.”

MAJOR ENDOWMENT HONORS FORMER PROFESSOR The family of Dr. Eugene F. Brigham, the founding director of the College’s Public Utility Research Center, has established a $ 4.5 million endowment. The Gene and Sue Brigham endowment will support the Warrington’s Finance, Insurance and Real Estate Department, the College’s largest department. Funds will support the department’s research activities. Dr. Brigham’s contributions to finance were far-reaching. He authored or co-authored 10 textbooks on managerial finance and managerial economics which have been used at more than 1,000 universities in the U.S., and have been translated into 12 languages for worldwide use. He is a former President of Financial Management Association International, and served on the faculties at UC Berkeley, UCLA, the University of Wisconsin, in addition to UF. Dr. Brigham taught at the College from 1971 until his retirement in 1995. He co-founded PURC with Dean Emeritus Dr. Robert Lanzillotti in 1972, and served as its first Director until 1980. After retiring, Dr. Brigham remained active as PURC’s Director Emeritus, and as a consultant to companies and government agencies.

3 STEPS TO

CAREER SUCCESS Warrington’s new career initiative is focused on three important elements:

1 .   D ATA The College will use more detailed surveys and other information-gathering tools to better identify trends in students careers, notably industries, functions, geographic locations, and compensation.

2. PLACEMENT The College will leverage GBCS’ placement formula, Heavener career coaches, peer mentoring, and career and leadership programs, to find more quality career and internship opportunities for undergraduates.

3 .   C O R P O R AT E R E L AT I O N S By centralizing its career services, the College creates a “onestop shop” for recruiters. It will provide recruiters a higher level of service and better connect students with employers.

UF MBA CAREER PLACEMENT AMONG NATION’S BEST Among the top 75 full-time MBA programs to appear in U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Graduate Schools 2017,” UF MBA was the nation’s only program to rank in the top 10 in Admissions Selectivity (fifth), Employment Three Months after Graduation (seventh), and Employment at Graduation (10th). UF MBA’s notable finishes in these key metrics were major factors in it sustaining its impressive position as the No. 16th-ranked fulltime program among U.S. publics. The program’s rates of employment at graduation (85.1 percent) and three months after graduation (95.7%) were higher than premier private institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, Penn, Yale and Columbia. In Admissions Selectivity, only Stanford, Harvard, UC Berkeley and Massachusetts Institute of Technology were more discerning in admitting full-time candidates than UF MBA (15.8%). Additionally, the starting compensation of UF MBA graduates increased 13% from last year to $109,171.

WARRINGTON CELEBRATES DEDICATION OF BERGSTROM CENTER A major initiative for the Warrington College of Business has been creating “homes” for its students. The College succeeded again with its newly renovated Kelley A. Bergstrom Center for Real Estate Studies, which was officially dedicated on Sept. 25, 2015, at Bryan Hall. About 100 Warrington alumni, faculty, staff and guests attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony, then toured the remodeled Center, which now resides in Bryan Hall. The Center was previously located in Stuzin Hall. Until 2010, accounting students were the only Warrington students who had a home to call their own (Gerson Hall). The College’s other graduate and undergraduate students shuttled between numerous buildings for classes, student organization meetings and other activities. The completion of Hough Hall in 2010 gave graduate students a home base. Heavener Hall, which was completed

(TWO) MILLION DOLLAR MAKEOVER in 2014, similarly provided undergraduate students with a bona fide identity. The hope is that the Bergstrom Center will become a hub of activity for both undergraduate and graduate real estate students. The 2,200-square-foot Center includes five offices, a spacious lobby, break room and storage space, but its centerpiece is a spacious conference room with a large flatscreen monitor and communications technology allowing for videoconferencing. The multipurpose conference room will benefit faculty and staff conducting research and administrative functions, while giving real estate students a professional environment to carry out mock presentations and other activities. “This space will make all the difference in the world to us in terms of finally having the dedicated space to host special guests, presentations and meetings in a way that welcomes interaction and activity,” said Dr. Wayne Archer, William D. Hussey Professor and Executive Director of the Bergstrom Center. The cost of the renovation project was $500,000, and was entirely financed by private giving. Center namesake Kelley A. Bergstrom was instrumental in the initiative, matching the funds raised by fellow alumni and supporters. “The new space will give UF’s real estate program a visibility that we have not had,” Bergstrom said. “For students and faculty, who know the quality of our education, the Center will be a focal point of pride, and show the historical strength of real estate education at the University of Florida.”

The 2015–16 academic year saw the college’s familiar sites—both historic and new— undergo exciting physical enhancements to make the “Warrington Experience” even more seamless and impactful for our students. The College is grateful to its loyal alumni for their generosity in funding many of these projects.

$ Kelley A. Bergstrom, namesake of the Warrington College of Business’ Kelley A. Bergstrom Center for Real Estate Studies, received the University of Florida’s Distinguished Alumnus Award during the College’s annual Business Advisory Council meeting. UF’s Distinguished Alumnus Award is the most prestigious honor UF can bestow on its alumni. The Award signifies a graduate’s contributions in his or her chosen field or outstanding service to UF. Bergstrom (MBA ’68) is the President of Bergstrom Investment Management, a private investment management services provider in Kenilworth, Ill. Previously, he served as President and Chief Executive Officer of JMP Properties Company, the property management and leasing affiliate of Chicago-based JMB Realty Corporation, from 1972 to 1994. Bergstrom’s service and philanthropy toward the College and UF have been exceptional. In 2006, Bergstrom established a major endowment at the College’s real estate research center, which was renamed in his honor. He spearheaded the Center’s recent $500,000 renovation project matching the funds raised by fellow alumni and supporters, and has served on the Center’s Advisory Board since 1988, including as its Chairman. Additionally, Bergstrom served as Chair of the UF Foundation Board of Directors, and

18

WARRINGTON COLLEGE OF BUSINESS  |  2016 DEAN'S REPORT

continues to serve on Warrington’s Business Advisory Council, where he has been a member since 2001. Bergstrom’s dedication to UF was recognized in 2015 when he received the Academy of Golden Gators Lifetime Volunteer Award, given to a select group of UF alumni whose generosity and vision is inspirational, and reflects the attributes that embody the best of the UF family. Active in national real estate organizations, Bergstrom was one of the original directors and served as Chairman of the National Multi-Housing Council (NMHC) from 1990 to 1992. In addition to being involved with multifamily investments, he oversees a portfolio of retail and office properties. Bergstrom is a Certified Property Manager (CPM) of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) and a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC). A former captain in the U.S. Army, Bergstrom received his undergraduate business degree from Iowa State University.

The College’s oldest building—dedicated in 1914— has one of its newest, renovated classrooms. Bryan 130, where professors Dave Denslow and Richard Lutz taught many of their marketing classes, underwent a stunning transformation thanks to the generosity of alumnus Rick Scarola (BSBA ’82). Scarola financed the $650,000 project providing Bryan Hall with a spacious, comfortable, and hi-tech space ideal for classes, meetings, and presentations. Bryan Hall’s third floor also underwent a $90,000 facelift, refurbishing staff offices and research centers. The Kelley A. Bergstrom Center for Real Estate Studies moved into its new home in Bryan Hall. The 2,200-square-foot Center includes five offices, a spacious lobby, and a professional conference room with a large flatscreen monitor and communications technology. The project was entirely financed by private giving, and Bergstrom (MBA ’68) matched the project’s funds raised by alumni and supporters.

Two classrooms were completely remodeled with new furniture, sound panels, carpeting, and technology equipment. The updated layout provides students a more modern and comfortable learning experience.

Two classrooms have been retrofitted with top-of-the-line recording technology, and can now be used as live recording studios for electronic platform accounting courses. Fisher School faculty and staff will also have access to these upgraded classrooms for special projects and events.

Classrooms and breakout rooms were updated with wireless video technology, allowing students to connect to displays from their mobile devices—a huge benefit for small group collaboration. The board room was also outfitted with an enhanced videoconferencing system.

Eligible students must have a minimum 3.5 UF GPA and be in good standing with UF. Students are also judged on scholarship, campus leadership, campus involvement, and service to the College or UF.

MBA QUARTET RECOGNIZED BY P O E T S & Q UA N T S

HUMANITARIAN MISSION TAKES HEAVENER STUDENT TO CUBA Chris Vázquez glances out an airplane window onto an island generations of Americans have never set foot upon. Soon, the plane’s door opens, and the Miami native is greeted with a warm, humid breeze that is equally familiar and completely foreign. Vázquez has arrived in his family’s homeland, a place his relatives believed they would never see again—some because they couldn’t, while others swore never to return. “I’ve pictured it several times,” Vázquez said. “It’s one of those things where you can think about it, but you don’t know how it’s going to be until it actually happens.” Vázquez traveled to Cuba this past summer. The junior finance major’s mission—a humanitarian mission funded by the Davis Foundation’s “Projects for Peace”—was designed to empower Cuban farmers and modernize their processes to protect the environment. The events that led Vázquez to Cuba are an incredible combination of diligent work, steadfast belief, and remarkably good timing. The genesis of Vázquez’s mission began in Fall 2015 when he enrolled in Challenge 2050, a program sponsored by UF/IFAS (Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences) designed to develop sustainable solutions when the world’s population is expected to surpass 9.6 billion in 2050. Vázquez met with Dr. Frederick Royce from UF’s Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering and Dr. William Messina, Jr., from IFAS’s Food and Resource Economics Department to discuss agricultural innovations Vázquez could explore. The professors told Vázquez about marabú, a bothersome and aggressive plant that enveloped more than 3.7 million acres of Cuban land as of 2012, according to a BBC report. The pervasiveness of marabú is both a curse and a blessing. This rigid and thorny plant can grow five meters high and is difficult to remove, but the plant can be used to make charcoal, a major Cuban export. According to the Havana Times, Cuba’s largest vegetable coal producer exported 29,000 tons of coal and earned more than $10.5 million in profits in 2014. Vázquez wrote his Challenge 2050 research paper on marabú in Cuba, and discovered the inefficient and environmentally harmful process used to transform the plant into charcoal. “The process is done in pits, which doesn’t carbonize everything so there are harmful volatiles that escape,” Vázquez said. “They just don’t have the

means; they’re using Soviet-era equipment.” The solution, Vázquez said, is to provide the farmers with kilns—steel ovens where the carbonization can occur. Using kilns will reduce harmful emissions by 75 percent, Vázquez said. The planning for this project was extensive, and involved numerous international partners. Vázquez coordinated efforts with the University of Havana, which has a cooperative agreement with UF IFAS. University representatives assisted with installing the kilns—which were imported from the United Kingdom—and participated in a week-long workshop where Vázquez and his counterparts instructed the farmers on how to operate them. The Cuban Association of Workers in Agriculture and Forestry also offered support. Assisting these agricultural entrepreneurs was not even a possibility until late last year when President Barack Obama restored diplomatic relations with Cuba, which the U.S. has had an embargo against since 1960. Although U.S. tourists are still banned from visiting Cuba, there are 12 exceptions—one of which is humanitarian projects—where Americans can legally visit the country. “Two years ago, this wouldn’t have been possible,” Vázquez said. “That’s why during our presentation we stressed that the time was now to make a difference.” Vázquez said his involvement with this project, which earned a $10,000 grant from the Davis Foundation, was a sensitive topic with his family. “It’s a very emotional subject,” Vázquez said. “The older generation of Cubans who were persecuted is very much against going back. But this isn’t political; this is strictly about providing humanitarian aid to the Cuban people, and really making a difference for them. I’m very lucky that my family supports me because a lot of my friends could try to do the same thing and not be supported.” In the team’s proposal, Vázquez wrote that the hope for its project is “to promote and advance the realization of peace for the Cuban people.” Vázquez said the first step toward peace begins with creating economic opportunity for them. “It’s about building trust with the Cuban people,” Vazquez said. “It’s about opening the door and opening the channels and, hopefully, we’ll see a change.”

Will Cannon and Lexie Cegelski were named to Poets & Quants’ “Best and Brightest MBAs Class of 2016,” and Megan Lehman and Erika Rix were selected to its “2016 MBAs to Watch” list. Cannon served in the U.S. Navy as a Main Propulsion Officer and Officer of the Deck onboard a Guided Missile Destroyer during two Middle East deployments. He continued his professional career as a Strategic Sourcing Manager at Anheuser-Busch InBev. Cegelski served in numerous roles at UF MBA, including UF MBA Association President, Vice President of Internal Affairs, Student Career Coach, and UF MBA Admissions Ambassador. She joined Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Procurement team. Lehman, a former Marketing Manager at Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, helped lead UF MBA to first-place finishes in case competitions at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of South Florida. She is now a Consultant at the Boston Consulting Group. Rix served as Director of Sales Channels for GatorMBA Gear, a student-run company housed in UF MBA, as well as the program’s Vice President of External Events. Rix entered T’Mobile’s Leaders 2 Executives Program.

ACCOUNTING STUDENT NAMED PROGRAM’S BEST Cindy Dosch was named the Fisher School of Accounting’s Outstanding MAcc Student of the Year. The MAcc Student of the Year Award, which is selected by a faculty vote, is the highest honor awarded to a Fisher student. Dosch posted a perfect 4.0 GPA en route to earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Accounting, She received the Fisher School’s inaugural Distinguished Student Service Award in 2015 for implementing a system to upload students’ grades to UF’s new online course platform, and reformatting the Fisher School’s virtual office hours to accommodate accounting students taking introductory courses through UF Online.

SENIORS HONORED FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP David Nassau, Kelsey Noris and Matthew Schnur received the Heavener School of Business’ Distinction in Leadership and Service Award. The Award recognizes graduating seniors “who have excelled in serving and leading others within the Warrington College of Business and University of Florida community, and have demonstrated a sincere passion for serving others through their leadership skills.”

TRIO LAUDED FOR EXCEPTIONAL COM MUN IT Y SERVICE Warrington students Kaitlyn Czencz, Emily Lunn and Abdul-Kader Okab were recipients of the University of Florida’s 2016 Presidential Service Awards on March 29 at the President’s House. The Presidential Service Awards, awarded by UF’s Center for Leadership & Service, recognize students who have dedicated their time and efforts while at UF to promoting social justice, community awareness, and civic engagement on campus and in the community. The Presidential Service Awards are a chance to acknowledge those students who have made outstanding efforts towards community service and too often go unrecognized and unrewarded for their selfless labor.

THANK YOU, DEAN KRAFT John Kraft has touched thousands of students’ lives and provided unrivaled leadership during his 26 years as Dean of the Warrington College of Business. Here are some of the College’s most respected alumni and friends offering their thoughts on Dean Kraft, who will step down as Dean at the end of the 2016–17 academic year.

A L W A R R I N G T O N (BSBA ’58) Foundi ng member of t he UF Boa rd of Trustees a nd na mesa ke of t he busi ness col lege

“ Through his vision, creativity and can-do attitude, John has achieved results unmatched by any other business dean in the country. He dramatically expanded our graduate programs, developed relationships with universities around the world, and has grown our endowment to almost $200 million. Many have asked me how long John would stay in the saddle, and I have responded by saying I hoped forever. He’s going to be almost impossible to replace, and has a legacy I doubt anyone will be able to match.”

L A U R I E B U R N S (BSBA ’84, MBA ’86) Senior Vice President and C hief Development Officer (reti red ), Da rden Restaura nts , I nc.

“Dean Kraft was truly a difference-maker for me. I always mention him when I’m asked about the people who positively impacted my career. He saw my potential as a student in his MBA Business Policy class, and helped me maximize that promise. He remained a great mentor and advisor after I graduated, and was especially supportive at a critical transition point in my career. Dean Kraft's personal interest in my success has added huge value to my career…and life.”

ROBERT LANZILLOTTI Dean Emeritus, Warrington College of Business

“John was eminently qualified as my successor in 1986. However, for reasons that are still obscure, the selection committee passed over John, who shortly thereafter was appointed Dean of the College of Business at Arizona State University. UF President John Lombardi wisely brought him back as Dean in 1990, and I have had the unique opportunity to witness the wisdom of that decision for the past 26 years—which has resulted in national rankings of our academic programs and major increases in the College’s endowment.”

A N J A N L A H I R I (MBA ’93) CEO of Bi rlasoft a nd Co- Founder of Mi nd Tree

“Despite excelling at UF MBA, I had not been able to secure a job due to my visa status. I learned later that John had recommended my first employer to hire me. I shouldn’t have been surprised. John’s tremendous affection for students and long-term commitment to caring for them has been unmistakable for 26 years. His imprint on the College will be long and permanent.”
