Testimonies from the region's business leaders on the
value of the College of Business Administration education.
David M. Hildebrandt, B.S., Operations Management, `87
Manager, BIS Mobilization
Business Innovation Services
IBM Global Services
“The passion for teaching students
practical skills and keeping up with the state of technology
is what makes Cal Poly Pomona the gem of the CSU System. In
order to maintain this focus and continue to matriculate the
caliber of business professionals that we have come to expect,
the College of Business Administration must have an infrastructure
that allows them to teach the skills of the new millennium.
The existing school is still housed in the same building that
was showing its age when I was a student! The time has come
for the College to be housed in a building that provides the
facilities necessary to continue your long tradition of excellence.”
Eric W. King, B.S., Operations Management,
`87
Manager, Common Contracts System
S&C Information Technology, Boeing Corp.
"Cal Poly Pomona
CBA graduates have proven themselves as a valuable intellectual
asset at Boeing. Graduates are successful in our rapidly changing
business environment and readily adapt to the changes by drawing
upon their unique practical learn by doing approach
and the broad academic foundations taught at the College. The
CBA approach provides the tools necessary in today's business
environment to apply the appropriate and timely response."
Terry Ford, B.S., Business Administration, `72
Director, Human Resources
Fluor Corporation
"Cal Poly Pomona’s College of Business
enjoys a reputation within Fluor Corporation as an institution
that consistently provides well prepared students with a practical
foundation of many fundamental skills. The recent emphasis on
technology and E-business programs follows today's industry
trends and complements our needs perfectly. We will maintain
a strong bond with Cal Poly Pomona as strategic business and
education partners."
Lulu Fou, B.S., Computer
Information Systems, `90
Associate Partner
Accenture
"One of the best decisions that I have made
in my life was to enroll in the CIS Department of the College
of Business Administration. My professors have prepared me well
for a successful career at Accenture, the world's leading provider
of management and technology consulting services.
The CIS program is the BEST academic program that I have ever
seen that combines business, technology and professional disciplines.
The graduates are well equipped to meet the demands of the challenging
consulting field and frequently recruited into premier companies.
Many recent graduates hired into my company have made immediate
contributions. Furthermore, the knowledge and skills these students
learned at Cal Poly are years ahead of the industry trend and
will remain applicable into the future. Those with a strong
technology background, solid business understanding, and professional
aura, are valued by their employers and will continue to excel
in the business world."
Kathy Gillen
Regional Recruiting Manager
Enterprise Rent-a-Car
"As a recruiter for our Enterprise
Management Training Program, I am constantly impressed with
the professional development and preparedness of Cal Poly graduates.
Unique to Cal Poly Pomona is the real world hands-on learning
opportunities necessary for graduation from the school of business.
This plays a tremendous role in the student’s growth and readiness
for our business climate." |
