Business Department Information Session

Hello schedule.

Hi Scott, how are you?

I'm good.

Alright, do you have slides?

I've got the slides.

Huh? It's only showing one slide.

Click on at the top control flights.

Upward says like broadcast video.

Oh, I see it OK.

All right?

OK, so yeah, there you go.

OK.

Know that right now we have about 30 students who have registered for the session and that will probably increase.

OK.

We find a lot of people.

Kind of join it right, right?

Oh sure, is it.

Right during a yeah, so we'll see how many people actually end up joining us. But right now we're at looks like 29.

Set an.

OK, and I haven't students are are on the panel at five.

I think there's three, uh, let me see.

And then there's their business administration student as opposed to global business student.

OK.

Yes, I think.

Kalana is the only global business I think the other two are business administration students.

OK, good and I finally asked. Just because the global business students tend to.

I tried to play way to put this. They tend to act like it's the only possible business program anyone would possibly want to consider. Anything business students are general little more generous in their reading and I certainly am when I talk to students, but I just I just want to make sure that good representation there in terms of this.

Oh yeah.

Right?

Yeah, said what we've tried to do with the ambassadors that we have 'cause all of 'em are their home and you know, we told them have to do anything for us but they've all been like we're home we like we want to work 'cause We want.

So if there are phone calls or things, you know that we can do, especially 'cause for many of 'em after Friday. They're like we're just, you know.

Oh, right.

No.

'cause right classes were done after Friday and so many most then like if there's any way that we can help. We are happy to help because.

OK.

Oh sure.

There's not much going on an it gives us something to like, do and focus on, and you know a sense of, I think, just normalcy, normalcy, something to be excited or So what Alicia did is she looked at our list of ambassadors and kind of saw. Where do we have concentrations? So we have? Like? Obviously businesses are very popular major so.

Carolina, who's global business and I forget from the others, are who are business administration and something else. They're all like Business Administration, Psych or business administration in.

OK, good.

Some other.

Good.

Thing media I think Media Studies is another one.

Yeah, it's a popular.

So we so we saw OK, well, we have enough of those. And if we're going to have a faculty session, let's do a whole, you know, a thing there going to do something like that with psychology, again, another big.

Oh yeah, another very popular major, so yeah.

OK.

Good.

Hello.

And so we have. Yeah, we have. I think again tour three students, their health, Madison. We're doing a panel because we have, I think two or three students.

We did a music panel because we have three students who are in this so anywhere we have a concept.

Oh nice.

Right?

Sure.

Right?

Anywhere where we've had we're not, we're not able to do one for all the Department, but of course once like business, like Johnston, Liberal studies in general tend to also be. We have 40 students who work for us.

No.

Wherever we have have a concentration, we've kind of put these little panels together and students have been excited. They're like, yeah, I'm more than happy to talk about my major.

Oh great.

And so.

You like my bed like my background? I drink this stuff.

Run.

Yes, I like the new bar. I see adding an is that Thurber?

Yes, I like it.

OK.

That server, and, uh, it's a T shirt in the yeah the coloring book so I I couldn't justify going all the way into campus because we have this big Department banner that does that. Kind of, you know, I personally pragmatic professional his education thing and all that, but I it's locked up and it would have been too much trouble to go.

No worries.

Deal with she saved to get this. To get that to get anyway. So this is what I can.

Yeah.

OK.

Um, what's happening on? I'm gonna log out out and come back in. My thing is frozen on me so I I will.

OK.

There we go alright.

Yes, so we're happy that you started doing these. We were nervous. We were like, uh, we hope people tune in just because, you know, for us this is.

I think for everyone doing the virtual events, but we've been happy considering the amount of them that we've done that we've had a fair amount of people who join us each one which is, which is great as our biggest fear is having this and have like.

Oh sure, everybody show up. Yeah Oh yeah.

'cause that's part of the fun with the chat we found with the others is having.

Is when there are, you know, they kind of feed off of each others energy. Once one person question and then they all kind of go and actually we had some students, let me pull it up. We did have some students Express.'.

Add.

OK.

Oh sure.

And let's see, um, just so, so I might start with those, um, one student poster question. Wanting to know how our business Department is different than others? So kind of what makes hours.

Awesome.

Nothing I talk about my normal presentation, yeah?

And then someone else just wanted to know, um, as an incoming student like kind of what with their load look like. And what were ways you can get help?

If they have doubts or questions about a topic, so it's like all those are good general ones, so.

Hum.

And then one person emailed, say then this is looking to major in business.

But wanting to be involved, maybe as a minor and just kind of wanting to know what what support looks like.

Oh sure, yeah, OK.

For those who might want to take some courses an or have a minor in business, maybe to pair it with something else that they were doing so.

And then we'll see what other questions we get, but those were sign that.

OK.

We're kind of said the head of times and start with those. That way it'll give people time to type in whatever their questions are.

OK.

Right?

And I figured it was something that you probably are already going to address in your, you know, minoring and things like that will probably already dressed way. But.

Yeah.

Awesome.

Yeah, I'm just going outside, just started talking about myself and how I came here. And then I've got this picture of of one of our current students who attended this event two years ago in Seattle. He actually found this just like a week ago and he went home and said I was looking around looking at my old pictures that he said they forgot about it. But then he remembered that I remembered that his mom had been very insisted that he take a picture with be so there was so yeah.

After

But without further ado, I'll turn it over to you Scott, so that way.

Let us know where you're tuning in from an feel free along the way of the presentation to please type in questions so that way we make sure we give to everyone's question when it comes to the Q&A time.

Well Hello everybody, uh it's so nice to see everybody will mean virtually since obvious I can't see well I directly but I'm so happy to have the opportunity to speak with you all night like at the University of Redlands but also about the Department of Business Administration and management. So my name is Scott Randolph and I'm the chair of that Department. I've been here at the University of Redlands for just about 10 years. It'll be 10 years in August actually, and I've enjoyed my 10 years here thoroughly and I look forward to many more years.

Going forward, I'm not actually originally from California. I grew up on the East Coast on the Jersey. Boy went to college Jersey. I went to Graduate School in Ohio and Indiana. Get my doctor for Purdue and then I went out and went on and taught in Wyoming for little while. Taught in Georgia for a little while before I came out here to California. So I've had the opportunity to teach or be a student at large schools. And now it's small schools and the choice that I made to come here at the University of Redlands was very deliberate one.

I was looking for the opportunity to teach in a school that really valued a small classes, really valued the interaction between faculty and students that really valued the opportunity to be innovative in our teaching that allowed us to encourage us to set height standard software for performance from students. But most importantly, I wanted to be in an environment where I knew my students on an individual basis, and I get all these other places that I talk is enormous classes your two 300 people, and then that's fine all get out and perform in front of anybody.

Something that's why I ended up doing what I'm doing. I come from a family of performers and but, you know, teaching throughout the students don't know who they are, and sometimes you feel like you were teaching to a warehouse and I wanted to. I wanted to teach at a small corner store. I want to have the opportunity to get to know all my students individually, know them as people, not just as students, but students in people. And I've had that opportunity. I've enjoyed that opportunity here at the University of Redlands. So one of the things I think is important understand about about our program and what we do here in the business Department.

You said this is a a deeply interdisciplinary program. What what we mean by that is that we take in information and data and ways of thinking about the world from throughout the broad spectrum of the human experience and one of the best examples of that is main I. I'm actually a historian by training my Bachelors Masters, my PhD or all in history, but yet here I am here for business Department and the reason for that is because this business Department, I think unusual for many other business schools.

It is deeply committed to what a liberal arts education is, and then the reason we're so committed to that is because we know talking to alumni and we know from talking to the people who hire our students, would they like about Redlands students what they like about the students who come out of here is that they're not these narrowly focused business students, but they understand the world, right? They understand that business decisions are made in political and social and cultural contexts in with our students know is they know that. And it's one of the best examples of that is someone like me, historian running this Department and one of the courses that you'll take as a business major or business. Mine. Are you taking your software year?

Is a business history course? Uh, it's it's a kind of a notoriously difficult course. Most people do find. Most people do fine, but the reason behind it is you need to understand why the Federal Reserve exists in order to understand what the Federal Reserve does, you need to understand how did business and government and society respond to economic crises in the past, and understand how we might respond to the ones going on. Now we're going to the future, and so we have this business just recourse. And So what we do in that course is going to introduce introduce you to these ideas of history and kind of get some writing experience.

But again, it's an illustration of this deep commitment to liberal arts. You know our human resources faculty member. My colleague Roger Robinson. Her background is in psychology right here. She comes to us and teaches human resources about understanding people and how they operate, how they think, and how they can be motivated. You can encourage their name to change their behaviors, and so were so deeply committed to this idea of liberal arts that we build it into our curriculum and we built it in other people who this Department has hired, and that includes folks like myself so.

That's me, briefly slide here, which was taken almost two years ago, almost to the day this was taken up in Seattle. During amid Schmidt students event in the Seattle area about two years ago. And this gentleman here, his name is Jim, and he's currently a business major. He's entering his junior year in about a month, week ago when he went back home, he sent me an email saying he was going through old pictures and found this picture which he remembered. His mom insisting that he takes with Maine when he was considering whether he would end up at the University of Redlands.

And he has on his now declared this is major an I'm actually his advisor, which allows me to say something. I think about the way we approach advising, not only in this recovery, but at the University as a whole, in that you know your advisors when you come here from the first day you arrive, our faculty, right? They are faculty who I've been here serving for a long period of time who understand their programs. You understand what the job market might look like to understand the kind of professionalization practices that you want to be thinking about. As you move toward eventually graduating in four years and getting out of the job market.

In that thing about knowing as a faculty member who the students, rather than interacting with, and so you know. I mean with him. And you know, three or four times a semester. At a minimum, let's talk about classes to talk about device and they talk about future plans to talk about internships, to talk about what is going to do for his summer, and thinking about the transitions from semester to semester. and I know it. I know I'm not. I'm in class and I know I'm in this advisory capacity and in my relationship with him is not all that different than the relationship that my colleagues have with their advise you.

Throughout others, their time here alright. So many of you are here. Obviously 'cause you're interested in business. You're interested in the way you can approach the study of business here at the University of Redlands. And there's a wide variety of ways that you can approach business. You can approach it as as a major and out of my Department. We offered two different majors. There's a Bachelor of Science in business administration. And then there's something not the most popular by 780% of the students eventually graduated with that degree.

Uh, then we have a degree called The Bachelor of Arts in management and the BA in management is designed very specifically for students who have two very strong interests, academic interests and they want to do them both, and so it's a way of completing a double major and being able to do that within the four years before you graduate, and so the pain management has a couple fewer classes. It's a little less quantitative in its orientation on The Bachelor Science degree, but it's still a very strong business program.

And our students who graduate with a BA management because again they have to complete a second major beyond that are often the strongest candidates are in the garage. Apply for internships and jobs because they're bringing in two different ways of thinking about the world and then we have a business administration minor. And this is kind of something that students in every other. Just when you can think about the college, have often added in the minor because it gives you kind of the basic. The basic framework for business education. And then again we see art students with a minor receive psychology students, basically chemistry.

Majors we see medication disorders majors with the business minor as well. And so that's kind of accomplished in my own Department, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention that there are other ways of approaching business here at University. There's a very well regarded accounting program. Uh directed by my colleague doctor, Renee Hall. That program has one of the best placement rates on campus over the last five or six years, essentially every single student who walked across the stage degree theater. I graduation had a job offer in hand, from a major accounting firm.

And then there is also a small theater business program for students were kind of thinking about theater management graduates, but one or two students a year. There's a relatively new program kind of enjoy program between environmental studies and the business Department called sustainable business. It's a very hit science heavy program twitch. Some business coursework is added. There is also a global business program which is kind of oriented to students who think they're going to end up maybe living or working abroad, particularly China, Japan, to excellent program. If you think about kind of international work.

And there's also the Economics Department, which has a traditional economics program, but they also have a financial economics program for anyone who's very very quantitative minded and really thinking about work in finance. But as a business administration major or be a management major, our students have gotten jobs across the spectrum of things you could think about. They've gone back to work in their own, start their own firms, they've gone to work for Fortune 500 companies, they've gone to work for small companies in their hometowns. They go back to run their failing businesses. And it doesn't matter what kind of feel the business you can think about.

There are business graduates who got out of those fields and something that we do in my Department. Again. Because of that, you spent three or four years developing these relationships with students. Is you then stay connected to them after graduation and as a consequence we have a really good database of our graduates going back ten 1520 years. And so if you come into my office and you say, Hey Doctor Randolph, I'm thinking that maybe I want to do some kind of work in the aerospace industry. One of the first things I'm going to say is OK? Well, that's great.

With the database, let's look at the number of students we have. We're working in the aerospace industry. Let's let me reach out to them and let me put you in touch with them so you can talk about what the experiences are working in that field, what sort, of course, might want to think about or just kind of talked about? What insurance internships might look like in those programs?

No, the business administration are all these business degrees. We really are kind of deeply connected to this larger liberal arts tradition at the University of Redlands and one of the ways that we make make that real is there aren't really a lot of business classes that you take in your first year that we want you to do as as a potential business manager is we want you to get deeply enmeshed in the liberal arts curriculum, and we called the liberal arts initiative and the idea here is that you're kind of exposed to that broad.

Span of the human experience you know that you're going to maybe take a sociology class or taking chemistry class. You're going to take some sort of Studio Art class and you're going to have that sense of all the other opportunities that exist there and then in that first year, you're probably going to take an intro to economics class. You might take her introduction to global marketing class and they kind of introduce you to some of the things that we're doing in business, but it's not really into your sophomore year that you start kind of digging into the meat, potatoes sections of the business program, and.

There are lots of students who decide, hey, they end up in business with their junior year. That's OK, so we just want students to come in. Spend that first year exploring what a liberal arts colleges exploring all the amazing opportunities for clubs and organizations and outreach and community service at the University of Redlands provides. As you kind of explore what you think you might want to do, right? And because you're going to have a faculty advisor going to be exposed to faculty and all these other programs, you're going to want to sit down and talk with. You want to have interactions with them and get a sense of.

What their fields are like, what the employment prospects are like? You're going to want to spend some time with our office of career professional development, which is wonderful Department here in campus. Run by doctor Kelly Drees, whose sole task release prepare students for the job market. And that's the sort of things we want you to be engaged in that first year. We don't need to declare a major at the University of Redlands until the end of your sophomore year, so you have some time. And if you're uncertain, as you probably should be at this point, that which particular business major you might want to approach.

Almost all of the introductory classes are the same for all of those programs, right? So you can kind of go wrong by taking a class and then deciding, know maybe your third semester you go into one of the different business programs that economics class or business law, class of business history class. They're required for all of the various business programs, and so a little later that she going to differentiate. It need to make that decision between which of the specific this is. Programs are that you're going to be involved in so mean some people. Before we started this kind of reach out and had some questions for us and.

One of the ones that I think I want to address is why? What about our program is different right from, say, other business programs and none of this is to say that other business programs are bad. They're all good in their own ways, but I think there are things that we do differently here at the University of Redlands and in this Department that are kind of strong reasons to be involved, and one of them is that right from your first course. We're thinking about what happens when you graduate. Were thinking about that process of what's called professionalization right. You'll see that banner here about personal, pragmatic, professional, business education.

We're really concerned, right that you know, 234 years out you need to go out of the job market and you're going out into what will be a competitive job market, right? Business major? The business major as an idea is the most popular business major across the United States, right? So there's a lot of people who graduate every year with the business major right? And one of the difficult things that you need to accomplish over those four years. You're going to figure out a way that we would have somebody, a resume, or they pull up your resume on their computer screen. There's something on that resume in that first, like ten 2030 seconds.

It makes sense saying I'm interested. I want to see you some more about this person, maybe just a little bit, just a little bit. And So what we want to do here, right from the beginning, is have you thinking about that professionalization aspect, but we build into our curriculum opportunities to do things that really emulate what happens in the real business environment. And So what I have up there, something called organizational consulting. This is, of course, that we offer every single semester annotations students from freshman to seniors, and the idea behind this course it stop by my.

Very very andeer akali marwin action is actually the Department chair who hired me so I have a sore spot in my heart for doctor winnick doctor winnick has put together this group called organization of consulting and what she does is she goes out into the community and she finds for profit companies and not for profit agencies and government organizations that our project that have something they need fixed they want they have they need something accomplished for them and so she brings them into the class they make a pitch to the class about what the project is with The thing is that they want in the business world they call that a deliverable was the deliverable that they want.

And then she puts together shooting teams who then work with that client throughout the rest of that semester to deliver that deliver right. And so this means that when you go out for that internship interview, you offered that job interview and you're asked a question about, well, tell me about an opportunity to tell me about a time where you have to work with the difficult Khalid. You don't have to think about that. Theoretically, you might be talking about somebody worked within that organizational consulting class because one of the things that happens in that class is. You have to learn team dynamics. How do you operate within the team? How do you? How do you manage action and behavior? How do you?

Manage the relationship with the client so you'll be able to talk in your internship. Oppurtunity interviews your job opportunity. Interviews are going to talk about real, practical applications of the theoretical knowledge that you've been learning in the classroom. And so with Doctor Winnick and others in the Department, bring is that kind of nice mix of kind of theoretical academic background and kind of practical business experience. I'm actually the odd one in my Department and not having worked for any substantial period of time in my case, none for kind of a traditional kind of Fortune 500 company.

But the rest of my College in my compartment kind of mix that academic training with that practical experience. I wear my colleague, Doctor Vernon Sobel, who was actually an Olympian in 1960, eight 1972. It is like to talk about that a lot, but we like to bring it up a lot 'cause we have an Olympian on our faculty. In our Department he has started and sold multiple companies over the course of his working career, and so when students are interested in entrepreneurship and they have a chat with Doctor Sobel. But talking to somebody who has seen that process through not once, not twice, button multiple times, right?

Getting that mix of the practical and of the theoretical so.

Move on here a little bit. Another slide here. So this is, you know, I like to think we're fun Department. I like to think that we approach what we're doing in a fun way. We're serious about the work that we're doing. We're serious about the training, but again, we all chose to come and work the University balance because we want to have the interactions with individual students in the class is we want to. We want to have an experience which is memorable, right? And so here's an example of this is actually again from the organizational consulting class, where the students are working to kind of figure out.

How they're going to make their final pitch back to a client about the deliverable that was needed in that particular case?

So we talk again about this idea, professionalization and in this encompasses every part of our curriculum, and so one example is the idea of what does what do you do with a professional dinner? What does it mean to network across the table? What does it mean to make a pitch about who you are to somebody? Because they might be in a position to offer you an internship or offered you a job and so we were kind of model this in the business 226 class and we bring in both business and academic and government leaders from throughout the country.

To give a deeper kind of introspective talk about their field, one of them up there. Doctor Jason Jason show granite is actually Nobel laureate.

A personal friend of mine as it happened, I don't know a lot of Nobel laureates. I just happen to know this one, but it's an example of the kind of ways that we get students in front of people who are making big decisions and learning the processes right about how you go through decision-making. Again, how you again also meet somebody right across the table from you.

Excited about the work that we do here and I'm excited about new students. I'm excited that students are interested in business because for me, you know business kind of encapsulates the entire T of that of the human experience, right? That that whether you are sitting in your home as I am right now, I'm thinking about what's going on in the business world outside. If you are thinking about what school you're going to go to, your engage in a business decision, right? Everything that goes on in the United States and the Globe is in some way connected back to decisions about business and it's exciting to be a part of a Department.

That thinks about business in that big global context, right?

Alright, so just have some other examples here of of opportunities. This is an experiment that one of our college was doing in her organizational behavior class where she's trying to get the students to understand how people operate within organizations, because even as an entrepreneur urine about organization you're interacting with their other organizations and so we want you to learn the practices that yield success right in doing that. But I know many of you were kind of worried about.

Awesome, thanks for we actually had some questions as you were going so I think all kind of scroll up and read some of those beginning questions and then students. Feel free to type in some additional questions as we go along. But we had a question earlier when you were speaking James and his question is or in aspiring and you talked about entrepreneurship alittle bit but his question is for an.

An aspiring nor how does your business program best fit someone who wants to build businesses?

Awesome, so we have a question from Brandon an this is specifically morsel geared towards transfer students. We do have. I believe if you transfer students for joining us and so he's coming from a local community colleges college teams flying just to know a little bit about that process. Brandon, I'm going to.

Could have talked through some of the things that you've answered 1st and then I'll head over to you Scott to talk about for students who are transferring in maybe what. But Brandon know that.

Hum.

What we do is we send your transcript to the.

To the registrar's office, and so hopefully soon you should be getting an email from them or something in the Mail that will list your credit evaluation, so you should be getting that information to know which of the classes you've taken are transferring and what requirements they are completing. So know that you will be getting something more specifically that talks about again everything you've taken and how it fits into our Redlands education in terms of.

Where you would start it also will depend how many credits you've taken, right? So if you've only done maybe 32 or 34 credits of Community College work, that's only about a year of your coming in as a sophomore and have a whole lot more classes to do both.

General education and business classes. Then someone who's coming in with 66. So a lot of how much you have left is dependent upon what you're coming in with. It depends upon did you do an ADT?

Or did you just kind of do the i get see right there? I get T focuses on general education versus if you did an att in business those classes are going to look different so know that again a lot of.

Of what you have to do will depend upon what you've already taken and the type of degree that you're coming in. With an ADT I get see Ed. Plan. All of that will will affect what you end up taking or having to retake and know that Kylie Web, our transfer coordinator is happy to meet with any transfer student one on one after you transfer evaluation to go through it, because again, it does vary depending upon how many credits you have coming in and.

The type of degree that you were working on when you were at the Community College, and then I'll Passover you. There's anything else you want to add.

And then we have broke up here who's just wanted a little bit more information about double majoring in wanting to know his question is, is it easier?

To double major with business and it's a accounting or business and E con is going to be more, maybe overlap and so maybe less credits versus doing business. An something that's completely unrelated. So he just wondering yeah, can you truly double major and almost anything? Or are there programs where it's going to be easier than others?

Oh yes, earlier um. Someone who looks like this sound is doubling. Sorry earlier, someone had asked before the session they could email dinner question wanting to know kind of what the load looks like. Maybe in that freshman or sophomore year in classes and then what support would be available for folks if they're having trouble with the concept or a class kind of let's support is offered to help people through.

And then be a great question from Anthony, who's wanting to know about foreign language and is it a requirement or something that's encrypted business? And so I'll let you talk more about that. But Anthony, Yes.

All right, any other that seems to be? I think all of the questions there were a few others, but, uh, you answered them. Actually, in your presentation. And so I think that's all the questions students are there. Any last questions of so? Feel free to type it in. I'm going to get a reminder. We do have a business student panel after this at 5:00 o'clock, but does anyone have any last questions for professor Scott Randolph?

Before we sign off.

And also know if you think of something later you are more than welcome to email us at the Admissions Office of We are.

Let me type that in.

I just type in our general email if later on again, you think of a question for professors, got Randolph, or maybe you think of something that you wanted to ask a student, but you weren't able to attend the panel.

Please send us your questions. We will make sure they either get to a student or that they get to a professor Randolph and will get you that information. But yes, if you have any last questions, this is your time to get it in again.
